Обсуждение: Server crash caused by CHECK on child

-- Hi Kevin, and everyone!

------------------------------------

drop table child;
drop table ancestor;

create table ancestor ( node_id int4, a int4
);

create table child ( b int4 NOT NULL DEFAULT 0 , c int4 not null default 3, CHECK ( child.b = 0 OR child.b = 1 )
) inherits (ancestor);

insert into ancestor values (3,4);
insert into child (node_id, a, b) values (5,6,1);

update ancestor set a=8 where node_id=5;

Oooh, my bad.  I should run your scripts before assuming I know how
they fail.

Thank you so much for finding this simplified method of crashing
Postgres.  Hopefully somebody can find a fix now.

That's my problem as well, though your example is vastly easier to
trace than mine.

What version are you trying this script on?  I'm not
seeing a crash on my 7.2 devel system (and the update occurs).

I can confirm this now works fine in current sources.  No crash.
