Subject: pgsql: Resolve untyped parameters in FOR PORTION OF FROM/TO bounds
Date: Tue, 08 Sep 2026 08:00:08 +0000
Message-ID: <E1x3qkR-00000003xkL-1U2B@gemulon.postgresql.org> (raw)

Resolve untyped parameters in FOR PORTION OF FROM/TO bounds

FOR PORTION OF valid_at FROM $1 TO $2 fails with "could not determine data
type of parameter $1", so using PREPARE requires users to say $1::date
etc. But transformForPortionOfClause() already coerces the bounds, since
it builds a constructor for the targeted range. We just need to store the
coerced expressions in targetFrom and targetTo.

This also improves pg_get_ruledef(), which now renders an untyped NULL
bound as NULL::date instead of NULL::unknown.
