Re: Bug in triggers

Sorry, bug is not in triggers, it is in PL/PGSQL  var assign mechanism
here it is an example:
ROLLBACK;
BEGIN;

CREATE TYPE "composite_type" AS (
    "type" VARCHAR,
    "type2" VARCHAR
);


CREATE TABLE "buggy" (
    "id" BIGINT NOT NULL,
    "bug" "composite_type",
    CONSTRAINT "buggy_pkey" PRIMARY KEY("id")
) WITH OIDS;


CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION "test_bug" () RETURNS pg_catalog.void AS
$body$
DECLARE
    tmp_old buggy%rowtype;
BEGIN
    tmp_old := ROW(1, NULL)::buggy;
    IF tmp_old::text <> ROW(1, NULL)::buggy::text THEN
        RAISE EXCEPTION '% <> %', tmp_old, ROW(1, NULL)::buggy;
    END IF;
END;
$body$
LANGUAGE 'plpgsql' VOLATILE CALLED ON NULL INPUT SECURITY INVOKER;

WILL THROW A EXCEPTION:
ERROR:  (1,"(,)") <> (1,)


SELECT test_bug();
