this is the syntax it will use?
i just compiled this in head and created a function based on this one.
The main difference is that the column in test1 it's a pk so i used
INSERT ON CONFLICT DO NOTHING
and i'm getting this error
postgres=# select foo();
LOG: namespace item variable itemno 1, name val
CONTEXT: PL/pgSQL function foo() line 7 at SQL statement
STATEMENT: select foo();
ERROR: null value in column "i" violates not-null constraint
DETAIL: Failing row contains (null).
STATEMENT: INSERT INTO test1 VALUES (val) ON CONFLICT DO NOTHING
ERROR: null value in column "i" violates not-null constraint
DETAIL: Failing row contains (null).
CONTEXT: PL/pgSQL function foo() line 7 at SQL statement
STATEMENT: select foo();
ERROR: null value in column "i" violates not-null constraint
DETAIL: Failing row contains (null).
CONTEXT: PL/pgSQL function foo() line 7 at SQL statement
this happens even everytime i use the PRAGMA even if no START
TRANSACTION, COMMIT or ROLLBACK are used
