The following documentation comment has been logged on the website: Page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.4/static/functions-subquery.html Description:
psql (PostgreSQL) 9.4.6 on SLES12 SP1 2 tables a and b Table "public.a" Column | Type | Modifiers -----------------+--------------------------+--------------- foo | integer | not null bar | integer | not null Table "public.b" Column | Type | Modifiers -----------------+--------------------------+--------------- bar | integer | not null No error when executing this statement even though table b does not contain column foo SELECT foo,bar FROM a WHERE foo=1 AND bar NOT IN (SELECT bar FROM b WHERE bar > 2 AND foo=2) Get an error on this one ERROR: column b.foo does not exist SELECT foo,bar FROM a WHERE foo=1 AND bar NOT IN (SELECT bar FROM b WHERE b.bar > 2 AND b.foo=2) It works if I remove foo from the subquery. SELECT foo,bar FROM a WHERE foo=1 AND bar NOT IN (SELECT bar FROM b WHERE b.bar > 2) Do I need to qualify all columns in the subquery or is this a bug is psql 9.4.6? -- Sent via pgsql-docs mailing list (pgsql-docs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-docs
