Use the parser's standard type coercion machinery to convert the output column(s) of a SQL function's final SELECT or RETURNING to the type(s) they should have according to the function's declared result type. We'll allow any case where an assignment-level coercion is available. Previously, we failed unless the required coercion was a binary-compatible one (and the documentation ignored this, falsely claiming that the types must match exactly). Notably, the coercion now accounts for typmods, so that cases where a SQL function is declared to return a composite type whose columns are typmod-constrained now behave as one would expect. Arguably this aspect is a bug fix, but the overall behavioral change here seems too large to consider back-patching. A nice side-effect is that functions can now be inlined in a few cases where we previously failed to do so because of type mismatches. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/18929.1574895430@sss.pgh.pa.us |
