Severity : non-critical
Summary: Libpq function PQfnumber does not handle case-insensitive comparisons correctly
System Configuration
--------------------
Operating System : Linux 2.0.34 ELF (Slackware)
PostgreSQL version : 6.4.2
Compiler used : gcc version egcs-2.90.29 980515 (egcs-1.0.3 release)
Hardware:
---------
Pentium 32MB RAM
Linux brian 2.0.34 #5 Mon Jan 18 10:28:12 CET 1999 i586 unknown
Versions of other tools:
------------------------
GNU Make version 3.76.1
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Problem Description:
--------------------
The libpq function PQfnumber does not handle case-insensitive comparisons
correctly. The psql monitor converts all table and field names
to lower case. If the PQfnumber function is called with a mixed
case name, it will always return -1.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Test Case:
----------
See below
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Solution:
---------
In the file src/interfaces/libpq/fe-exec.c edit the code for the function
PQfnumber. In version 1.69.2.1 of this file (which is what I have), the line
to be modified is line 1525. It reads:
if (strcmp(field_name, res->attDescs[i].name) == 0)
and it should be:
if (strcmp(field_case, res->attDescs[i].name) == 0)
