Commit 1e7fe06c10 changed
pg_mbstrlen_with_len() to ereport(ERROR) if the input ends in an
incomplete character. Most callers want that. text_substring() does
not. It detoasts the most bytes it could possibly need to get the
requested number of characters. For example, to extract up to 2 chars
from UTF8, it needs to detoast 8 bytes. In a string of 3-byte UTF8
chars, 8 bytes spans 2 complete chars and 1 partial char.
Fix this by replacing this pg_mbstrlen_with_len() call with a string
traversal that differs by stopping upon finding as many chars as the
substring could need. This also makes SUBSTRING() stop raising an
encoding error if the incomplete char is past the end of the substring.
This is consistent with the general philosophy of the above commit,
which was to raise errors on a just-in-time basis. Before the above
commit, SUBSTRING() never raised an encoding error.
SUBSTRING() has long been detoasting enough for one more char than
needed, because it did not distinguish exclusive and inclusive end
position. For avoidance of doubt, stop detoasting extra.
Back-patch to v14, like the above commit. For applications using
SUBSTRING() on non-ASCII column values, consider applying this to your
copy of any of the February 12, 2026 releases.
