The following bug has been logged online: Bug reference: 5154 Logged by: Jeff Shanab Email address: jsha...@earthlink.net PostgreSQL version: 8.3.5 Operating system: Linux Description: ERROR: cannot assign non-composite value to a row variable Details:
As discussed on the irc. I had a problem with a utility function that was being passed a NEW row and a null for the OLD row. The error was created when it tries to store the row variable in the local variables. RhodiumToad on the list provided this simple test. create type foo1 as (a integer, b text); CREATE TYPE create type foo2 as (c integer, d foo1); CREATE TYPE create function foo() returns foo2 language plpgsql as $f$ declare v foo2; begin v := null; return v; end; $f$; CREATE FUNCTION select foo(); ERROR: cannot assign non-composite value to a row variable CONTEXT: PL/pgSQL function "foo" line 1 at assignment -- Sent via pgsql-bugs mailing list (pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-bugs
