(pgsql 9.2devel (25 oct) with your latest CORRESPONDING patch; linux x86_64 GNU/Linux 2.6.18-274.3.1.el5)
Hi, here is another peculiarity, which I think is a bug: -- first without CORRESPONDING: $ psql -Xaf null.sql select 1 a , 2 b union all select null a, 4 b ; a | b ---+--- 1 | 2 | 4 (2 rows) -- then with CORRESPONDING: select 1 a , 2 b union all corresponding select null a, 4 b ; psql:null.sql:9: ERROR: failed to find conversion function from unknown to integer If the null value is in a table column the error does not occur: drop table if exists t1; create table t1 (a int, b int); insert into t1 values (1,2); drop table if exists t2; create table t2 (a int, b int); insert into t2 values (null,2); select a,b from t1 union all corresponding select a,b from t2 ; a | b ---+--- 1 | 2 | 2 (2 rows) I'm not sure it is actually a bug; but it seems an unneccessary error. thanks, Erik Rijkers -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
