We already reject:
select max(i) from foo where i < 10)
But max(i)+1 seems to slip the check. I looked into this I found the
patch tried to detect the case before analyzing(see
parser/parse_cte.c) which is not a right thing I think.
I think we could detect the case by adding more checking in
parseCheckAggregates():
/*
* Check if there's aggregate function in a recursive term.
*/
foreach(l, qry->rtable)
{
RangeTblEntry *rte = (RangeTblEntry *) lfirst(l);
if (qry->hasAggs && rte->rtekind == RTE_RECURSIVE &&
rte->self_reference)
{
ereport(ERROR,
(errcode(ERRCODE_SYNTAX_ERROR),
errmsg("aggregate functions in a
recursive term not allowed")));
}
}
What do you think?
