It's possible to drop a column from an input table of a JOIN clause in a view, if that column is nowhere actually referenced in the view. But it will still be there in the JOIN clause's joinaliasvars list. We used to replace such entries with NULL Const nodes, which is handy for generation of RowExpr expansion of a whole-row reference to the view. The trouble with that is that it can't be distinguished from the situation after subquery pull-up of a constant subquery output expression below the JOIN. Instead, replace such joinaliasvars with null pointers (empty expression trees), which can't be confused with pulled-up expressions. expandRTE() still emits the old convention, though, for convenience of RowExpr generation and to reduce the risk of breaking extension code. In HEAD and 9.3, this patch also fixes a problem with some new code in ruleutils.c that was failing to cope with implicitly-casted joinaliasvars entries, as per recent report from Feike Steenbergen. That oversight was because of an inadequate description of the data structure in parsenodes.h, which I've now corrected. There were some pre-existing oversights of the same ilk elsewhere, which I believe are now all fixed. |

PostgreSQL Database Management System ===================================== This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL database management system. PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types and functions. 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/.
