hi.
src/backend/executor/execExpr.c
case T_JsonIsPredicate:
{
JsonIsPredicate *pred = (JsonIsPredicate *) node;
ExecInitExprRec((Expr *) pred->expr, state, resv, resnull);
scratch.opcode = EEOP_IS_JSON;
scratch.d.is_json.pred = pred;
ExprEvalPushStep(state, &scratch);
break;
}
gram.y:
a_expr IS json_predicate_type_constraint
the above shows the a_expr will be transformed and then evaluated.
The exprType type of a_expr as domain should work just fine.
The attached patch implements this, and it seems to be quite straightforward.
(extensive regress tests added)
CREATE DOMAIN jd1 AS JSON CHECK ((VALUE ->'a')::text <> '3');
CREATE DOMAIN jd2 AS JSONB CHECK ((VALUE ->'a') = '1'::jsonb);
CREATE DOMAIN jd4 AS bytea CHECK (VALUE <> '\x61');
SELECT NULL::jd1 IS JSON;
SELECT NULL::jd2 IS JSON;
SELECT NULL::jd4 IS JSON;
in the master, the above 3 IS JSON would return error,
with the attached patch, it will return NULL.
I checked the discussion links [1], but couldn’t find the reason domains aren’t
supported. I guess at that time, we didn't think about this issue.
