How the (censored) am I supposed to write the ON CONFLICT () clause
so that it works?
Like this it reports:
ERROR: column reference "Uuid" is ambiguous
LINE 3: ON CONFLICT ("Uuid")
^
DETAIL: It could refer to either a PL/pgSQL variable or a table
column.
THERE IS NO (CENSORED) VARIABLE "Uuid"!
Yes, there is. RETURNS TABLE (... "Uuid" text ... )
Changing that to something else should remove the ambiguity. I agree it is not an ideal solution though. I'm not sure what other options exist though.
If I drop the quotes and use just
ON CONFLICT (Uuid)
I get
ERROR: column "uuid" does not exist
LINE 3: ON CONFLICT (Uuid)
^
HINT: Perhaps you meant to reference the column "Lockers.Uuid".
Yes, thank you, that's exactly what I meant. That's what I wrote too,
you (censored). I didn't write uuid, I wrote Uuid, you imbecile!
This one is on you for removing the double quotes that your choice of identifier names forces you to basically put everywhere.
If I try to include the table name as ON CONFLICT (Lockers.Uuid) or
Even if you didn't get a syntax error that isn't the name of your column...
ON CONFLICT ("Lockers"."Uuid"), I get a syntax error.
This is the one that should work so if its giving a syntax error it is the one worth questioning.
If I specify it as
ON CONFLICT ("Lockers.Uuid")
I get quite understandably
ERROR: column "Lockers.Uuid" does not exist
LINE 3: ON CONFLICT ("Lockers.Uuid")
Yes, the double quotes in the earlier "Perhaps you meant" error message are a readability thing, not a "write this instead" thing.
