Hackers,
Given this script:
BEGIN;
CREATE TYPE foo AS ( this int, that int );
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION dump(foo[]) returns text language plperlu AS $$
use Data::Dumper; Dumper shift;
$$;
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION dump(foo) returns text language plperlu AS $$
use Data::Dumper; Dumper shift;
$$;
select dump(row(3, 5)::foo);
select dump(ARRAY[row(3, 5)::foo]);
ROLLBACK;
The output is:
dump
--------------------------
$VAR1 = { +
'that' => '5',+
'this' => '3' +
}; +
(1 row)
Time: 0.936 ms
dump
----------------------
$VAR1 = '{"(3,5)"}';+
(1 row)
That is, if a record is passed to a PL/Perl function, it's correctly converted
into a hash. If, however, an array of records are passed, the record are
stringified, rather than turned into hashes. This seems inconsistent. Bug?
Thanks,
David
