Hello
We've come across the following issue with Polymorphic functions:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION "array_to_set" (vaarray anyarray) RETURNS
SETOF anyelement AS
$body$
BEGIN
FOR I IN COALESCE(ARRAY_LOWER(VAARRAY, 1), 1) ..
COALESCE(ARRAY_UPPER(VAARRAY, 1), 0) LOOP
RETURN NEXT VAARRAY[I];
END LOOP;
END
$body$
LANGUAGE 'plpgsql' SECURITY INVOKER;
> select * from array_to_set(array[1,2,3]);
array_to_set
--------------
1
2
3
(3 rows)
Now we change SECURITY INVOKER clause to SECURITY DEFINER and voila:
> select * from array_to_set(array[1,2,3]);
ERROR: could not determine actual argument type for polymorphic
function "array_to_set"
Though explainable this is absolutely strange since logically security
rules and polymorphism are irrelevant.
regards, Viatcheslav

TIP 9: In versions below 8.0, the planner will ignore your desire to
choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not
match
