Subject: Parameter types are inferred from context of first use only.
Date: Mon, 23 Jul 2018 09:14:48 +0000
Message-ID: <[email protected]> (raw)
The following documentation comment has been logged on the website:
Page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/10/static/sql-prepare.html
Description:
Background can be found on the bugs list (pgsql-bug #15289). It was
explained that when a prepared statement parameter needs to have its type
inferred then, should the parameter be used more than once, only the first
use is considered. (The example in that report is that the type of $1 can be
inferred from "($1 = col) or ($1 is null)" but not from "($1 is null) or ($1
= col)".)
The documentation as it stands says only that the parameter's type is
inferred from the context in which it is used. The "first use only" proviso
is not mentioned (hence "context" isn't so broad as to consist of all of the
expressions in which the parameter appears).
