The following bug has been logged online: Bug reference: 4553 Logged by: Andrew Gierth Email address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] PostgreSQL version: 8.3-8.4 Operating system: all Description: HOLD cursors not materializing results fully Details:
(tested on 8.3.5 and HEAD as of a few weeks ago) The materialization logic for holdable cursors isn't detoasting data prior to storage in the portal's tuplestore, which leads to problems like this: postgres=# create table test1 (a text); CREATE TABLE postgres=# insert into test1 values (repeat('daafadslksdfalkeshfalkhfalsdjfhalsjdfhaldjfhalkfhd',10000)); INSERT 0 1 postgres=# declare testcur cursor with hold for select * from test1; DECLARE CURSOR postgres=# delete from test1; DELETE 1 postgres=# vacuum test1; VACUUM postgres=# fetch first from testcur; ERROR: missing chunk number 0 for toast value 65571 in pg_toast_65565 Obviously truncate, etc., is affected too. -- Sent via pgsql-bugs mailing list (pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-bugs
