I have committed some fixes that prevent resjunk targets from being assigned to output columns in an INSERT/SELECT. This partially fixes the problem Michael Davis reported a few weeks ago. However, there's still a bug with confusion about column names. Given create table foo (a int4, b int4); CREATE create table bar (c int4, d int4); CREATE we can do select c, sum(d) from bar group by c; but not insert into foo select c, sum(d) from bar group by c; ERROR: Illegal use of aggregates or non-group column in target list The problem here is that the target expressions of the select have been relabeled with foo's column names before GROUP BY is processed. If you refer to them by the output column names then it works: insert into foo select c, sum(d) from bar group by a; INSERT 279412 1 You can think of the query as having been rewritten to insert into foo select c AS a, sum(d) AS b from bar group by a; in which case the behavior makes some kind of sense. However, I think that this behavior is neither intuitive nor in conformance with SQL92's scoping rules. As far as I can tell, the definition of the result of "select c, sum(d) from bar group by c" is independent of whether it is inside an INSERT or not. Fixing this appears to require a substantial rearrangement of code inside the parser, which I'm real hesitant to do with only a week to go till 6.5 release. I propose leaving this issue on the "to fix" list for 6.6. Comments? BTW, although Davis claimed this was broken sometime during April, 6.4.2 shows the same bugs ... I think it's been wrong for a long time. regards, tom lane
