Hello,
I am working on a meta-programming use-case where I need to scrape some detailed information about the results of a function that "RETURNS TABLE (LIKE physical_table)", which ends up with prorettype = 'physical_table'::regtype.
The problem is that for the query "SELECT * FROM my_function()" the RowDescription that is sent back shows 0 for Table OID and Column Index.
From Wireshark:
PostgreSQL
Type: Row description
Length: 219
Field count: 7
Column name: table_id
Table OID: 0
Column index: 0
Type OID: 20
Column length: 8
Type modifier: -1
Format: Binary (1)
<snipped>
I would expect that the Table OID contains the relation OID of this table, as it would do for a typical statement like "SELECT * FROM my_table". It would seem there is a bug here that is preventing PostgreSQL from connecting the dots.
Regards,
Maxwell.
