Hmm, good find. As I recall, I was opposed to the idea of throwing an error if the WHEN expression writes to the database, and the previous implementation had some hole, so I just ripped it out after discussing it; but I evidently failed to notice this test case about it. However, I can't find any mailing list discussion about this point. Maybe I just asked Simon off-list about it. IMO just deleting that test is a sufficient fix. -- Álvaro Herrera 48°01'N 7°57'E — https://www.EnterpriseDB.com/ Tom: There seems to be something broken here. Teodor: I'm in sackcloth and ashes...
