我正在尝试学习sql,使用Postgresql 9.1.3。我想了解一些令我震惊的行为是不一致的。以机智:
这样做:
WITH innermost AS (SELECT 2) SELECT * FROM innermost UNION SELECT 3;
我得到这个:
?column? ---------- 2 3
这样做:
WITH outmost AS ( (WITH innermost AS (SELECT 2) SELECT * FROM innermost) ) SELECT * FROM outmost;
结果:
?column? ---------- 2
这也可以:
WITH outmost AS ( SELECT 1 UNION (WITH innermost AS (SELECT 2) SELECT * FROM innermost) ) SELECT * FROM outmost;
我得到这个:
?column? ---------- 1 2
但这不行:
WITH outmost AS ( SELECT 1 UNION (WITH innermost as (SELECT 2) SELECT * FROM innermost UNION SELECT 3) ) SELECT * FROM outmost;
结果:
ERROR: relation "innermost" does not exist LINE 4: SELECT * FROM innermost
对于我的思维方式,最后一个应该成功,还有一个应该失败。我看不到图案。有没有一些一般规则,可以使我预测嵌套CTE和UNION的组合将会或不会起作用?
这个奥秘解决了:我所观察到的行为是一个已知的错误。我将相同的原始帖子发送到Postgresql特定的列表,并得到这个答案:
原文链接:https://www.f2er.com/postgresql/192913.htmlThis is a bug :-(. The parse analysis code seems to think that WITH
can only be attached to the top level or a leaf-level SELECT within a
set operation tree; but the grammar follows the sql standard which
says no such thing. The WITH gets accepted,and attached to the
intermediate-level UNION which is where syntactically it should go,
and then it’s entirely ignored during parse analysis. Will see about
fixing it.06000
