Re: Schemas not available for pl/pgsql %TYPE....

Call me crazy, but shouldn't the following work? :~|

CREATE FUNCTION t() RETURNS TEXT AS '
DECLARE
col_name pg_catalog.pg_attribute.attname%TYPE;
BEGIN
col_name := ''uga'';
RETURN col_name;
END;
' LANGUAGE 'plpgsql';
CREATE FUNCTION

SELECT t();
WARNING: plpgsql: ERROR during compile of t near line 2
ERROR: Invalid type name 'pg_catalog.pg_attribute.attname % TYPE'

Sure should. Want to fix plpgsql's parser?

Why not: I've never been one to avoid strapping on 4tons in rocks and
jumping into the deep end. ::sigh:: Is it me or does it look like all
of pl/pgsql is schema un-aware (ie, all of the declarations). -sc

Yeah. The group of routines parse_word, parse_dblword, etc that are
called by the lexer certainly all need work. There are some
definitional issues to think about, too --- plpgsql presently relies on
the number of names to give it some idea of what to look for, and those
rules are probably all toast now. Please come up with a sketch of what
you think the behavior should be before you start hacking code.

Added to TODO:

o Make PL/PgSQL %TYPE schema-aware

Not a problem there. I walked around the code for a bit, made a few
hacks to see how things are working, and I can tell you strait up that
if you'd like this by 7.3, it won't be happening from me. <:~) I'm
stretched kinda thin as is and don't think I'll be able to get this
working correctly with time to test by release. I can send you the
patch I've got for the lexer, but that was chump. What I was going to
do could be totally wrong, but...

* Change the lexer to recognize schema.table.column%TYPE as a token
and was going to create parse_tripwordtype() that'd look up the
table and column in the appropriate schema and would return the
appropriate type.

If I were lazy, I'd just unshift the schema off of the token and
return what comes back from parse_dblwordtype(), but that doesn't
strike me as correct for something that's performance sensitive.
Beyond doing that, I'm at a loss. :-/ Thoughts? -sc

If you want to send me what you've done so far, I'll take a look and see
if I can figure it out. I think this is probably a must do item for 7.3.

Any further guidance or thoughts?

Thanks,

Attached is a diff -c format proposal to fix this. I've also attached a short
test script. Seems to work OK and passes all regression tests.

Here's a breakdown of how I understand plpgsql's "Special word rules" -- I
think it illustrates the behavior reasonably well. New functions added by this
patch are plpgsql_parse_tripwordtype and plpgsql_parse_dblwordrowtype:

Your patch has been added to the PostgreSQL unapplied patches list at:

http://candle.pha.pa.us/cgi-bin/pgpatches

I will try to apply it within the next 48 hours.
