Thread: FailedAssertion("!OidIsValid(def->collOid)", File: "view.c", Line: 89)

Hi everyone,

The following statements result in an assertion error on the latest
trunk version (c01ac6d):

CREATE TABLE t0(c0 TEXT COLLATE "POSIX");
CREATE VIEW v0(c0) AS (SELECT (t0.c0 COLLATE "C")::INT FROM t0); --
FailedAssertion("!OidIsValid(def->collOid)", File: "view.c", Line: 89)

When building without assertions, the CREATE VIEW statement results in
an error instead:

ERROR: collations are not supported by type integer

Best,
Manuel

I think the options are to add a check and ereport() instead of an
assertion, or just remove the assertion and let BuildDescForRelation()
report the error as it does in non-assert builds.  I think the latter
is better, since it seems well established that BuildDescForRelation()
will complain about that via its call to GetColumnDefCollation().
Here's a patch to do that.

I'm loving these new back traces.

Hi,

Thanks for the fix. Will this patch be merged soon?

Best,
Manuel

This has not been applied yet AFAICS.  Thomas, are you getting to this
one soon?

Thanks for the reminder.  Will do.
