I don't know if anyone has seen this, maybe it's a very common error
I've just never come across before, but I'm encountering the following
problem:
I've exported some views from a PG14 database and loaded them into a
brand new PG17 database via a plain text format pg_dump.
No errors were reported during the dump, so no problems creating the
views reported.
However, attempting to query the views - which are pretty complex, to be
fair - result in the query erroring immediately with 'ERROR:
unrecognized node type: 2'
I've tried repeating the load from the pg_dump file, and it still errors
immediately with the same error message.
I've tried creating a copy of one of the views (extracting the view
definition with pg_get_viewdef, and wrapping a create view around it)
... that results in a new view that is created successfully, but which
still results in an immediate 'ERROR: unrecognized node type: 2' when
you query the view.
Unfortunately I cannot provide the view definition due to
confidentiality agreements 🙁
Any suggestions to what might be the underlying cause for this? Has this
happened anywhere else? Is there some manner of issue with complexity in
views in PG17?
Any suggestions, or further information, would be very gratefully
received 🙂
Thank you.
