Description:
The following recursive views (borrowed from regress/sql/lock.sql, see
"detecting infinite recursions in view definitions"):
CREATE VIEW lock_view2(a) AS SELECT NULL::integer;
CREATE VIEW lock_view3 AS SELECT * from lock_view2;
CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW lock_view2 AS SELECT * from lock_view3;
can be created successfully, but make a subsequent pg_dump fail:
pg_dump: error: query failed: ERROR: infinite recursion detected in rules
for relation "lock_view2"
pg_dump: error: query was: LOCK TABLE public.lock_view2 IN ACCESS SHARE
MODE
The offending commit is 64fc3e03.
Thanks to Andrew Bille for discovering this.
