Hello Alexander and Daniel,
Please look at the following query, which triggers an assertion failure on
updating the field dathasloginevt for an entry in pg_database:
SELECT format('CREATE DATABASE db1 LOCALE_PROVIDER icu ICU_LOCALE en ENCODING utf8
ICU_RULES ''' || repeat(' ', 200000) || ''' TEMPLATE template0;')
\gexec
\c db1 -
CREATE FUNCTION on_login_proc() RETURNS event_trigger AS $$
BEGIN
RAISE NOTICE 'You are welcome!';
END;
$$ LANGUAGE plpgsql;
CREATE EVENT TRIGGER on_login_trigger ON login EXECUTE PROCEDURE on_login_proc();
DROP EVENT TRIGGER on_login_trigger;
\c
\connect: connection to server on socket "/tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432" failed: server closed the connection unexpectedly
The stack trace of the assertion failure is:
...

Funnily enough, when Tom Lane was wondering, whether pg_database's toast
table could pose a risk [1], I came to the conclusion that it's impossible,
but that was before the login triggers introduction...
