Hi all,
Good day!
I am a newbee to PostgreSQL and recently came across an idea about type-casting tablespace OID.
The motibation is that when I have to upgrade a PostgreSQL database, we need to join other tables to
track tablespace name. I have just created a simple patch to resolve this.
Hope you can take a look with this.
My Execution Sample:
# After Patch:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
postgres=# SELECT oid,oid::regtablespace,spcname from pg_tablespace ;
oid | oid | spcname
------+------------+------------
1663 | pg_default | pg_default
1664 | pg_global | pg_global
(2 rows)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Before Patch
------------------------------------------------------------------------
postgres-# SELECT oid,oid::regtablespace,spcname from pg_tablespace ;
ERROR: syntax error at or near "oid"
LINE 1: oid | oid | spcname
^
------------------------------------------------------------------------
I added the "::regtablespace" part to source.
Note: While developing, I also had to add several rows to pgcatalog tables.
Please point out if any OID newly assigned is not appropriate.
Kind Regards,
Yuki Tei
