Eventually we might be able to allow that, but it's not clear how many places need to be fixed to prevent infinite recursion when there's a direct or indirect inclusion of a rowtype in itself. One such place is CheckAttributeType(), which will recurse to stack overflow in cases such as those exhibited in bug #5950 from Alex Perepelica. If we were sure it was the only such place, we could easily modify the code added by this patch to stop the recursion without a complaint ... but it probably isn't the only such place. Hence, throw error until such time as someone is excited enough about this type of usage to put work into making it safe. Back-patch as far as 8.3. 8.2 doesn't have the recursive call in CheckAttributeType in the first place, so I see no need to add code there in the absence of clear evidence of a problem elsewhere. |

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/.
