I have an enum-type, like this:
CREATE TYPE type_enum_service_type AS ENUM
('Banner', 'Ticker', 'Memo');
Then I have a table, like this:
CREATE TABLE services (
service_id integer NOT NULL,
service_type type_enum_service_type NOT NULL,
service_keyword character varying NOT NULL,
service_time_created timestamp with time zone NOT NULL DEFAULT now(),
);
And, I have a plpgsql function like this:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION service_something(a_service_id integer)
RETURNS void AS
$BODY$
DECLARE
serviceType type_enum_service_type;
impressionsLeft integer;
messageId integer;
userId integer;
BEGIN
CASE service_type FROM services WHERE service_id = a_service_id
WHEN 'Banner' THEN
RAISE NOTICE 'It is Banner!';
WHEN 'Ticker' THEN
RAISE NOTICE 'It is Ticker!';
WHEN 'Memo' THEN
RAISE NOTICE 'It is Memo!';
ELSE
RAISE EXCEPTION 'It is strange!';
END CASE;
RETURN;
END
$BODY$
LANGUAGE 'plpgsql' VOLATILE SECURITY DEFINER
COST 100
Then I insert some data:
INSERT INTO services (1, 'Banner', 'kw-banner', now());
INSERT INTO services (2, 'Banner', 'kw-banner', now());
INSERT INTO services (2, 'Banner', 'kw-banner', now());
When I call 'service_something' function and provide nonexistent
service_id I get this error:
ERROR: cache lookup failed for type 37
When I repeat the query (SELECT service_something(1);) the error is like
this:
ERROR: cache lookup failed for type 0
Is this desired behavior so that first I need to check if service_id is
existent, or is this a bug? :)

Hmm. Looks like exec_eval_expr should be more careful about setting
a result datatype when the expression returns no rows. NULL is NULL,
but it still has a defined datatype ...
