Since this function is used as a CHECK constraint condition, returning NULL is tantamount to returning TRUE, which would have the effect of letting in a row that doesn't satisfy the hash condition. Admittedly, the cases for which this is done should be unreachable in practice, but that doesn't make it any less a bad idea. It also seems like a dartboard was used to decide which error cases should throw errors as opposed to returning NULL. For the checks for NULL input values, I just switched it to returning false. There's some argument that an error would be better; but the case really should be can't-happen in a generated hash constraint, so it's likely not worth more code for. For the parent-relation-open-failure case, it seems like we might as well let relation_open throw an error, instead of having an impossible-to-diagnose constraint failure. Back-patch to v11 where this code came in. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/24067.1605134819@sss.pgh.pa.us |

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: https://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. 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 https://www.postgresql.org/download/. For more information look at our web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
