Bug reference:      17779
Logged by:          Bryn Llewellyn
Email address:      bryn@yugabyte.com
PostgreSQL version: 15.1
Operating system:   Ubuntu 22.04
Description:

This code is adapted (but only very slightly) from the PostgreSQL 15 doc:

43.8. Transaction Management
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/plpgsql-transactions.html

The change is that "create schema s" is added and all references to
schema-objects use correspondingly qualified identifiers.

create schema s;
create table s.test1(a int);

create procedure s.transaction_test1()
  --set search_path = pg_catalog, pg_temp
  language plpgsql
as $body$
begin
  for i in 0..9 loop
      insert into s.test1 (a) values (i);
    if i % 2 = 0 then
      commit;
    else
      rollback;
    end if;
  end loop;
end;
$body$;

call s.transaction_test1();
select a from s.test1 order by 1;

As presented, it runs without error and produces the expected result:

 a 
---
 0
 2
 4
 6
 8

The test is done using Version 15.1 in a Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS VM.

The plan is to follow the implicit recommendation from elsewhere in the docs
by making the value of "search_path" that the procedure sees at runtime
immune to the session's setting of this run-time parameter—and, as a
secondary point, to force the use of qualified identifiers to make the
code's intention explicit for the reader.

However, when the "set search_path" line is uncommented, and procedure
"s.transaction_test1()" is recompiled, it causes the 2D000 runtime error:

invalid transaction termination

Of course, now no rows are inserted into the target table.

The outcome is the same if this is used:

set search_path = pg_catalog, s, pg_temp

for those who prefer less cluttered code.

If this is a known bug, then please tell me the number.
