Subject: pgsql: Fix UPDATE/DELETE ... WHERE CURRENT OF on a table with virtual c
Date: Wed, 22 Apr 2026 10:54:06 +0000
Message-ID: <E1wFVDa-0028wt-04@gemulon.postgresql.org> (raw)

Fix UPDATE/DELETE ... WHERE CURRENT OF on a table with virtual columns.

Formerly, attempting to use WHERE CURRENT OF to update or delete from
a table with virtual generated columns would fail with the error
"WHERE CURRENT OF on a view is not implemented".

The reason was that the check preventing WHERE CURRENT OF from being
used on a view was in replace_rte_variables_mutator(), which presumed
that the only way it could get there was as part of rewriting a query
on a view. That is no longer the case, since replace_rte_variables()
is now also used to expand the virtual generated columns of a table.

Fix by doing the check for WHERE CURRENT OF on a view at parse time.
This is safe, since it is no longer possible for the relkind to change
after the query is parsed (as of b23cd185f).
