Hello,

I'm new to this list but have been using PostgreSQL for a moment.  I've encountered an error using PostgreSQL 9.4.4 which can be reproduced using the SQL below.

The trigger "init_store_ldap_profiles_trigger" fails if the function "init_store_ldap_profiles()" is written as below.  If I rewrite it to use "SELECT * FROM ...", instead of "SELECT id, ref_ldap_department, ref_ldap_title, access_mode FROM ...", it works.

This is the error I get:
ERROR: null value in column "access_mode" violates not-null constraint
  Detail: Failing row contains (1, 2015-08-27 13:37:24.306883, 2015-08-27 13:37:24.306883, 1, 1, 1, null).
  Where: SQL statement "INSERT INTO application.store_ldap_profile (ref_store, ref_ldap_department, ref_ldap_title, access_mode) VALUES (NEW.id, r.ref_ldap_department, r.ref_ldap_title, r.access_mode)"
PL/pgSQL function init_store_ldap_profiles() line 8 at SQL statement

It seems that for some reason, the column "store_ldap_profile_defaults.access_mode" appears to be NULL when referred to using r.access_mode (r being the declared %ROWTYPE).  I can modify the WHERE clause to add a dummy condition on "access_mode", and that works (as in, it doesn't solve my problem but the column value is visible to the WHERE clause).

Is this a bug or can I fix this in my SQL ?

Thanks,
Christopher

Here's the SQL :
