Subject: returning does not act as expected after viewing documentation
Date: Mon, 23 Sep 2019 17:47:54 +0000
Message-ID: <156926087407.1118.10468521588901274687@wrigleys.postgresql.org> (raw)

The following documentation comment has been logged on the website:

Page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/11/dml-returning.html
Description:

With the following query:

update batch_log
set status=('in-progress'),
updated_at=now()
where status = ('pending')
and id = (
select id
  from batch_log
  where status = ('pending')
  order by priority desc, updated_at asc
  limit 1
)
returning id, batch_log.update_at
;


I get the following error message:


column batch_log.update_at does not exist
LINE 14:     returning id, batch_log.update_at
HINT:  Perhaps you meant to reference the column "batch_log.updated_at".

This does not make a whole lot of sense. It is recommending that I do what I
am doing!

Also I don't see why this would fail.

I am on PostgreSQL 11 latest official docker image as of today's date
(2019-09-23).
