Re: MERGE bug report - Mailing list pgsql-hackers

Hello Hackers,

Reporting a bug with the new MERGE statement. Tested against 75edb919613ee835e7680e40137e494c7856bcf9.

psql output as follows:

...
psql:merge.sql:33: ERROR:  variable not found in subplan target lists
ROLLBACK
[local] joe@joe=# \errverbose
ERROR:  XX000: variable not found in subplan target lists

Reproducer script:

BEGIN;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS item, incoming, source CASCADE;

CREATE TABLE item
  (order_id    INTEGER NOT NULL,
   item_id     INTEGER NOT NULL,
   quantity    INTEGER NOT NULL,
   price       NUMERIC NOT NULL,
   CONSTRAINT pk_item PRIMARY KEY (order_id, item_id));

INSERT INTO item VALUES (100, 1, 4, 100.00), (100, 2, 9, 199.00);

CREATE TABLE incoming (order_id, item_id, quantity, price)
  AS (VALUES (100, 1, 4, 100.00), (100, 3, 1, 200.00));

CREATE TABLE source (order_id, item_id, quantity, price) AS
  (SELECT order_id, item_id, incoming.quantity, incoming.price
     FROM item LEFT JOIN incoming USING (order_id, item_id));

MERGE INTO item a
USING source b
   ON (a.order_id, a.item_id) =
      (b.order_id, b.item_id)
 WHEN NOT MATCHED
 THEN INSERT (order_id, item_id, quantity, price)
      VALUES (order_id, item_id, quantity, price)
 WHEN MATCHED
  AND a.* IS DISTINCT FROM b.*
 THEN UPDATE SET (quantity, price) = (b.quantity, b.price)
 WHEN MATCHED
  AND (b.quantity IS NULL AND b.price IS NULL)
 THEN DELETE;
COMMIT;

It seems related to the use of a.* and b.*

Sorry I can't be more specific. Error manifests when planning occurs and that is well outside of my code base knowledge.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
