Oops. Looks like the indexing should be 1-based rather than 0-based.
Committed with that change.

Thanks for fixing this function. Patch looks good to me, except column number
in the following errors message should to be 2.
354 +SELECT satisfies_hash_partition('mchash'::regclass, 2, 1,
NULL::int, NULL::int);
355 +ERROR: column 1 of the partition key has type "text", but
supplied value is of type "integer"
Same at the line # 374 & 401 in the patch.

I don't think just returning false is very helpful behavior, because the user may not realize that the problem is that the function is being called incorrectly rather than that the call is correct and the answer is false. I took your 0001 patch and made extensive modifications to it. I replaced your regression tests from 0002 with a new set that I wrote myself. The result is attached here. This version makes different decisions about how to handle the various problem cases than you did; it returns NULL for a NULL input or an OID for which no relation exists, and throws specific error messages for the other cases, matching the parser error messages that CREATE TABLE would issue where possible, but with a different error code. It also checks that the types match (which your patch did not, and which I'm fairly sure could crash the server), makes the function work when invoked using the explicit VARIADIC syntax (which seems fairly useless here but there's no in-core precedent for variadic function which doesn't support that case), and fixes the function header comment to describe the behavior we committed rather than the older behavior you had in earlier patch versions. As far as I can tell, this should nail things down pretty tight, but it would be great if someone can try to find a case where it still breaks. -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company 0001-Fix-multiple-problems-with-satisfies_hash_partition.patch Description: Binary data

Yes sure, but I am not sure that we really need this and also not sure about
which regression file is well suitable for these tests (to be honest, I haven't
browsed regression directory in detail due to lack of time today), so created
new file in 002 patch which is WIP.
Do let me know your thoughts will try to improve 0002 patch, tomorrow.

Fixed in the 001 patch.
IMHO, this function is not meant for a user, so that instead of ereport() cant
we simply return false? TWIW, I have attached 003 patch which replaces all
erepots() by return false.

Yeah, this patch needs more work. There is no need to do much efforts
on HEAD to crash it:
=# create table aa (a int);
CREATE TABLE
=# select satisfies_hash_partition('aa'::regclass, 0, NULL, 'po');
server closed the connection unexpectedly
This probably means the server terminated abnormally
before or while processing the request.
Could you add regression tests calling directly this function?
elog() can also be triggered easily, which should not happen with
user-callable functions:
=# select satisfies_hash_partition(0, 0, NULL, 'po');
ERROR: XX000: could not open relation with OID 0

You shouldn't call PG_GETARG_...(n) until you've verified that PG_ARGISNULL(n) returns false. Also, I don't think moving the heap_open() earlier helps anything, but you do need to replace Assert(key->partnatts == nkeys) with an ereport() -- or just return false, but I think ereport() is probably better.
