Re:BUG #18710: "pg_get_viewdef" triggers assertions in special scenarios - Mailing list pgsql-bugs

------------------ Original ------------------

 

The following bug has been logged on the website:

Bug reference:      18710
Logged by:          Man Zeng
Email address:      zengman@halodbtech.com
PostgreSQL version: 14.14
Operating system:   centos-8
Description:       

A prototype of the problem from
https://github.com/duckdb/pg_duckdb/issues/435
This exception can be reliably triggered by calling "pg_get_viewdef"

Step 1 ：
CREATE VIEW view_a AS
WITH RECURSIVE outermost(x) AS (
SELECT 1
UNION (WITH innermost1 AS (
SELECT 2)
SELECT * FROM outermost
UNION SELECT * FROM innermost1)
)
SELECT * FROM outermost ORDER BY 1;

Step 2 ：
SELECT oid FROM pg_class where relname = 'view_a';

Step 3：
SELECT pg_get_viewdef( this oid ); -- error

The abnormalities appear as follows

psql (14.14)
Type "help" for help.

Maybe we can comment out the assertion that raises the exception, because I
looked up the code and found that the assertion doesn't seem to make a lot
of sense here.
I look forward to your discussion.
