From 04dc48b5280bf692b4995ce9d4f80a5e75eb7074 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tom Lane Date: Tue, 6 Feb 2007 22:49:30 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Fix an error in the original coding of holdable cursors: PersistHoldablePortal thought that it didn't have to reposition the underlying tuplestore if the portal is atEnd. But this is not so, because tuplestores have separate read and write cursors ... and the read cursor hasn't moved from the start. This mistake explains bug #2970 from William Zhang. Note: the coding here is pretty inefficient, but given that no one has noticed this bug until now, I'd say hardly anyone uses the case where the cursor has been advanced before being persisted. So maybe it's not worth worrying about. --- src/backend/commands/portalcmds.c | 16 ++++++++++++---- 1 file changed, 12 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/backend/commands/portalcmds.c b/src/backend/commands/portalcmds.c index 72d3eadcbfb..0fefb66174f 100644 --- a/src/backend/commands/portalcmds.c +++ b/src/backend/commands/portalcmds.c @@ -14,7 +14,7 @@ * * * IDENTIFICATION - * $PostgreSQL: pgsql/src/backend/commands/portalcmds.c,v 1.57 2006/10/19 19:53:03 tgl Exp $ + * $PostgreSQL: pgsql/src/backend/commands/portalcmds.c,v 1.57.2.1 2007/02/06 22:49:30 tgl Exp $ * *------------------------------------------------------------------------- */ @@ -392,15 +392,23 @@ PersistHoldablePortal(Portal portal) ExecutorEnd(queryDesc); /* - * Reset the position in the result set: ideally, this could be + * Set the position in the result set: ideally, this could be * implemented by just skipping straight to the tuple # that we need * to be at, but the tuplestore API doesn't support that.
