The following bug has been logged on the website:
Bug reference: 15572
Logged by: Ash Marath
Email address: makmarath@hotmail.com
PostgreSQL version: 10.5
Operating system: RDS (on Amazon)
Description:
Scenario:
DB has 2 functions with same name.
DB: testDB
Schema: test
Function 1: test.func1(param1 text, param2 text)
Function 2: test.func1(param1 text)
---------------------------------
Issue: Misleading message reported by "DROP FUNCTION" command with the above
scenario
Step 1:
Run the command : DROP FUNCTION test.func1;
NOTE: This operation failed to execute the drop and reported the following
message
Message reported by PgAdmin4 & OmniDB:
---- start of message ------
function name "test.func1" is not unique
HINT: Specify the argument list to select the function
unambiguously.
---- end of message ------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Step 2:
Run the command : DROP FUNCTION IF EXISTS test.func1;
NOTE: This operation completed successfully without error and reported the
following message
Message reported by PgAdmin4 & OmniDB:
---- start of message ------
function admq.test1() does not exist, skipping
---- end of message ------
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Proposed solution:
The operation in Step 2 should have failed with the same error as reported
in Step 1;
Thanks
