Hello How should I mark a function which calls CURRENT_DATE? Parallel safe or parallel restricted?
pg_proc shows that now() is marked as restricted, but transaction_timestamp() is marked as safe. The manual (https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.6/static/functions-datetime.html) says that "now() is a traditional PostgreSQL equivalent to transaction_timestamp()" and "transaction_timestamp() is equivalent to CURRENT_TIMESTAMP". The code seems to confirm: GetSQLCurrentDate(), GetSQLCurrentTimestamp() and now() all invoke the same GetCurrentTransactionStartTimestamp(). It looks like that functions which uses the CURRENT_* family of functions should be marked as restricted (something to add to the docs) and that transaction_timestamp() is incorrectly marked as safe. Am I wrong?
