Subject: Attribute of type record has wrong type error with MERGE ... WHEN NOT MATCHED BY SOURCE THEN DELETE
Date: Mon, 10 Mar 2025 10:48:34 +0100
Message-ID: <3518c50a-ab18-482f-b916-a37263622501@deepbluecap.com> (raw)

Postgresql version 17.4 (Ubuntu 17.4-1.pgdg24.10+2) on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu

To reproduce, execute the statements in the attached file cr.sql.  I get:

duncan=> \i cr.sql
CREATE TABLE
CREATE TABLE
CREATE VIEW
CREATE TABLE
COPY 1
COPY 2
COPY 1
psql:cr.sql:42: ERROR:  attribute 2 of type record has wrong type
DETAIL:  Table has type _country_or_region, but query expects record.

I attribute it to the "WHEN NOT MATCHED BY SOURCE THEN DELETE" part of the MERGE 
as it doesn't happen if that part is left off.

Best wishes, Duncan.
