Re: plpgsql variable assignment with union is broken

[easteregg]

to be clear, that was existing code within our codebase, it was used as a very 
bad alternative to an if/else clause. think of it as an tenery operator. thats 
just straight up bad code as tom said. but even if it is, its a change and i 
wanted to check, if its intended. so thank you for you time and consideration!
