A function that is declared to return a named composite type must return tuple datums that are physically marked as having that type. The plpgsql code path that allowed directly returning an expanded-record datum forgot to check that, so that an expanded record marked as type RECORDOID could be returned if it had a physically-compatible tupdesc. This'd be harmless, I think, if the record value never escaped the current session --- but it's possible for it to get stored into a table, and then subsequent sessions can't interpret the anonymous record type. Fix by flattening the record into a tuple datum and overwriting its type/typmod fields, if its declared type doesn't match the function's declared type. (In principle it might be possible to just change the expanded record's stored type ID info, but there are enough tricky consequences that I didn't want to mess with that, especially not in a back-patched bug fix.) Per bug report from Steve Rogerson. Back-patch to v11 where the bug was introduced. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/cbaecae6-7b87-584e-45f6-4d047b92ca2a@yewtc.demon.co.uk
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: https://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. 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 https://www.postgresql.org/download/. For more information look at our web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
