Subject: BUG #16958: "Invalid reference to FROM-clause entry for table" when qualifying columns in "on conflict .. where"
Date: Fri, 09 Apr 2021 21:31:48 +0000
Message-ID: <16958-963f638020de271c@postgresql.org> (raw)
The following bug has been logged on the website:
Bug reference: 16958
Logged by: Lukas Eder
Email address: lukas.eder@gmail.com
PostgreSQL version: 13.2
Operating system: Docker on Windows
Description:
I'm using Docker on Windows:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
select version();
-------------------------------------------------------------------
PostgreSQL 13.2 (Debian 13.2-1.pgdg100+1) on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, compiled
by gcc (Debian 8.3.0-6) 8.3.0, 64-bit
Consider the following SQL script:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
create table t (
a int,
b int,
c int
);
create unique index i on t(a)
where t.b is null;
insert into t (a, b)
values (
1,
1
)
on conflict (a)
where t.b is null -- Error here
do update
set
c = 1
returning t.a, t.b, t.c;
drop table t;
-------------------------------------------------------------------
There's an error reported:
SQL Error [42P01]: ERROR: invalid reference to FROM-clause entry for table
"t"
Hint: There is an entry for table "t", but it cannot be referenced from
this part of the query.
Position: 71
Notice the qualification of the t.b column in the "on conflict .. where"
clause. I don't understand why b cannot be qualified at this location. It
can be qualified in the index definition, looks like a bug to me.
