Hello,
The following code snippet demonstrates the problem: the first select
passes and the second [select * from testf(FALSE)] fails. I would expect
that select * from testf(...); works without errors in both cases.
begin;
create table test (id integer, data char(1)) partition by list (id)
tablespace pg_default;
create table test_1 partition of test for values in (1) partition by
list (data);
create table test_1_a partition of test_1 for values in ('a');
create function testf(p boolean) returns setof test language 'plpgsql'
as $body$ begin return query update test set id=id where p returning *;
end; $body$;
insert into test (id, data) values (1, 'a');
select * from testf(TRUE);
select * from testf(FALSE);
rollback;
The result:
ERROR: structure of query does not match function result type
SQL state: 42804
Detail: Number of returned columns (0) does not match expected column
count (2).
Context: PL/pgSQL function testf(boolean) line 1 at RETURN QUERY
