This fixes a problem noted as a followup to bug #8648: if a query has a semantically-empty target list, e.g. SELECT * FROM zero_column_table, ruleutils.c will dump it as a syntactically-empty target list, which was not allowed. There doesn't seem to be any reliable way to fix this by hacking ruleutils (note in particular that the originally zero-column table might since have had columns added to it); and even if we had such a fix, it would do nothing for existing dump files that might contain bad syntax. The best bet seems to be to relax the syntactic restriction. Also, add parse-analysis errors for SELECT DISTINCT with no columns (after *-expansion) and RETURNING with no columns. These cases previously produced unexpected behavior because the parsed Query looked like it had no DISTINCT or RETURNING clause, respectively. If anyone ever offers a plausible use-case for this, we could work a bit harder on making the situation distinguishable. Arguably this is a bug fix that should be back-patched, but I'm worried that there may be client apps or PLs that expect "SELECT ;" to throw a syntax error. The issue doesn't seem important enough to risk changing behavior in minor releases. |

PostgreSQL Database Management System ===================================== This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL database management system. PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types and functions. This distribution also contains C language bindings. PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here: http://www.postgresql.org/download See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install PostgreSQL. That file also lists supported operating systems and hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL system. Changes between all PostgreSQL releases are recorded in the file HISTORY. Copyright and license information can be found in the file COPYRIGHT. A comprehensive documentation set is included in this distribution; it can be read as described in the installation instructions. The latest version of this software may be obtained at http://www.postgresql.org/download/. For more information look at our web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
