Description: Function visibility in transactions error
Details:
I have problem with function visibility in transaction when I do create and
drop function. There is an example.
I have two sessions:
1: CREATE FUNCTION test () RETURNS integer AS 'select 1' LANGUAGE 'sql';
CREATE FUNCTION
1: SELECT test();
test
------
1
(1 row)
2: BEGIN TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL SERIALIZABLE;
BEGIN
2: SELECT test();
test
------
1
(1 row)
1: DROP FUNCTION test ();
DROP FUNCTION
1: CREATE FUNCTION test () RETURNS integer AS 'select 2' LANGUAGE 'sql';
CREATE FUNCTION
1: SELECT test();
test
------
2
(1 row)
2: SELECT test();
test
------
1
(1 row)
It's ok. In transaction I have old definition of test function.
2: SELECT test();
test
------
2
(1 row)
!!!! Strange! Second call of the same function gets other result.
In READ COMMITED transactions I have the same results.
