DO
$$
DECLARE
test text[];
BEGIN
test := '{"x","y","z"}';
CALL ptest( test );
RAISE NOTICE '%', test;
END
$$;
PRODUCES:
ERROR: type with OID 0 does not exist
CONTEXT: SQL statement "CALL ptest( test )" PL/pgSQL function
inline_code_block line 6 at CALL
IN A FUNCTION IT WORKS:
create or replace FUNCTION ptest(INOUT text[] ) returns text[] as 'ptest.so'
language 'c';
C-Source:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include "postgres.h"
#include "fmgr.h"
#include "funcapi.h"
#include "array.h"
PG_MODULE_MAGIC;
Datum ptest(PG_FUNCTION_ARGS);
PG_FUNCTION_INFO_V1(ptest);
Datum
ptest ( PG_FUNCTION_ARGS )
{
ArrayType * arg_arr;
arg_arr = PG_GETARG_ARRAYTYPE_P( 0 );
PG_RETURN_ARRAYTYPE_P( arg_arr );
// TEXTOID = 25 the following code produces the same error:
// PG_RETURN_ARRAYTYPE_P( construct_empty_array( 25 ));
