Subject: BUG #18314: PARALLEL UNSAFE function does not prevent parallel index build
Date: Mon, 29 Jan 2024 07:00:00 +0000
Message-ID: <18314-5f44050ce33a5492@postgresql.org> (raw)

The following bug has been logged on the website:

Bug reference:      18314
Logged by:          Alexander Lakhin
Email address:      exclusion@gmail.com
PostgreSQL version: 16.1
Operating system:   Ubuntu 22.04
Description:        

When planner chooses to perform parallel index build, it doesn't
check whether functions used in an index expression or predicate are
parallel-safe. For example:
CREATE FUNCTION f() RETURNS int IMMUTABLE PARALLEL UNSAFE
AS $$
BEGIN    
    RETURN 0;
EXCEPTION WHEN OTHERS THEN
    RETURN 1;
END$$ LANGUAGE plpgsql;

CREATE TABLE t(i int);
INSERT INTO t SELECT g FROM generate_series(1, 300000) g;
CREATE INDEX ON t((i + f()));

results in:
ERROR:  cannot start subtransactions during a parallel operation
CONTEXT:  PL/pgSQL function f() line 2 during statement block entry
parallel worker

Although with 200000 records, the index created with no error.

Reproduced on REL_12_STABLE .. master.
