Although the SQL spec forbids duplicate table aliases, historically we've allowed queries like SELECT ... FROM tab1 x CROSS JOIN (tab2 x CROSS JOIN tab3 y) z on the grounds that the aliased join (z) hides the aliases within it, therefore there is no conflict between the two RTEs named "x". The LATERAL patch broke this, on the misguided basis that "x" could be ambiguous if tab3 were a LATERAL subquery. To avoid breaking existing queries, it's better to allow this situation and complain only if tab3 actually does contain an ambiguous reference. We need only remove the check that was throwing an error, because the column lookup code is already prepared to handle ambiguous references. Per bug #8444. |

This distribution also contains C language bindings. PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here: http://www.postgresql.org/download See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install PostgreSQL. That file also lists supported operating systems and hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL system. Changes between all PostgreSQL releases are recorded in the file HISTORY. Copyright and license information can be found in the file COPYRIGHT. A comprehensive documentation set is included in this distribution; it can be read as described in the installation instructions. The latest version of this software may be obtained at http://www.postgresql.org/download/. For more information look at our web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
