Обсуждение: Bug in row locking?

Hi,

I noticed a problem by trying to lock rows of the view for update,
if the definition of the view consists the reference to another view.

Example:

create table test (a int)

insert into test values (1)
insert into test values (2)
insert into test values (3)
insert into test values (4)

create view vtest1 as
select a from test
where a > 1

create view vtest2 as
select a from vtest1
where a > 2

If you try to lock rows in the view vtest1, everything is OK.

But if you try to lock rows in the view vtest2, this error message
occurs:

ERROR:  no relation entry for relid 5

Any ideas, whats wrong?

Best regards

Pavel Hanak

Wow, amazing no one reported this before, because it seems to be broken
all the way back to 7.3 ... will look into it.
