ruleutils.c was coded to suppress the AS label for a SELECT output expression if the column name is "?column?", which is the parser's fallback if it can't think of something better. This is fine, and avoids ugly clutter, so long as (1) nothing further up in the parse tree relies on that column name or (2) the same fallback would be assigned when the rule or view definition is reloaded. Unfortunately (2) is far from certain, both because ruleutils.c might print the expression in a different form from how it was originally written and because FigureColname's rules might change in future releases. So we shouldn't rely on that. Detecting exactly whether there is any outer-level use of a SELECT column name would be rather expensive. This patch takes the simpler approach of just passing down a flag indicating whether there *could* be any outer use; for example, the output column names of a SubLink are not referenceable, and we also do not care about the names exposed by the right-hand side of a setop. This is sufficient to suppress unwanted clutter in all but one case in the regression tests. That seems like reasonable evidence that it won't be too much in users' faces, while still fixing the cases we need to fix. Per bug #17486 from Nicolas Lutic. This issue is ancient, so back-patch to all supported branches. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/17486-1ad6fd786728b8af@postgresql.org |

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/.
