Hi.
https://git.postgresql.org/cgit/postgresql.git/commit/?id=8e72d914c52876525a90b28444453de8085c866f
DELETE/UPDATE FOR PORTION OF with rule system is not working, and
there are no RULE related regession tests.
in gram.y, RuleStmt, RuleActionList, RuleActionStmt
RuleActionStmt:
SelectStmt
| InsertStmt
| UpdateStmt
| DeleteStmt
| NotifyStmt
;
So far, I found 2 errors, and one crash.
There might be more bugs, I didn't try all the cases.
drop table if exists fpo_rule;
create table fpo_rule (f1 bigint, f2 int4range);
INSERT INTO fpo_rule values (1, '[1, 10]');
CREATE RULE rule3 AS ON INSERT TO fpo_rule DO INSTEAD UPDATE fpo_rule
FOR PORTION OF f2 FROM 1 to 4 SET F1 = 2;
INSERT INTO fpo_rule values (2, '[2, 12]');
ERROR: range types do not match
\errverbose
ERROR: XX000: range types do not match
LOCATION: range_minus_multi, rangetypes.c:1260
CREATE RULE rule4 AS ON DELETE TO fpo_rule DO INSTEAD UPDATE fpo_rule
FOR PORTION OF f2 FROM 1 to 4 SET F1 = 2;
DELETE FROM fpo_rule;
ERROR: no relation entry for relid 3
\errverbose
ERROR: XX000: no relation entry for relid 3
LOCATION: find_base_rel, relnode.c:556
DROP RULE rule4 ON fpo_rule;
CREATE RULE rule5 AS ON UPDATE TO fpo_rule DO INSTEAD DELETE FROM
fpo_rule FOR PORTION OF f2 FROM 1 to 4;
UPDATE fpo_rule FOR PORTION OF f2 FROM 1 to 4 SET F1 = 2; -- server crash
As of now, we should try to ban CREATE ROLE with UPDATE/DELETE FOR PORTION OF.
