Hello -
I've experienced some logically inconsistent query output on my local
Postgres instance, version string: PostgreSQL 18.0 (Homebrew) on
aarch64-apple-darwin25.0.0, compiled by Apple clang version 17.0.0
(clang-1700.3.19.1), 64-bit
I also reproduced it on the most recent Postgres version available at
db-fiddle.com, version string: PostgreSQL 17.0 on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu,
compiled by gcc (GCC) 11.4.1 20230605 (Red Hat 11.4.1-2), 64-bit
This first statement resolves, reasonably, to NULL:
SELECT ROW(NULL::integer, 2) = ROW(NULL::integer, 2)
This next statement resolves to ROW(NULL, 2):
SELECT coalesce(ROW(NULL::integer, 2), ROW(1, 2))
These final two statements each resolve to true, which is inconsistent with
the previous statements (each should resolve to NULL):
SELECT coalesce(ROW(NULL::integer, 2), ROW(1, 2)) = ROW(NULL::integer, 2)
SELECT coalesce(ROW(NULL::integer, 2)) = ROW(NULL::integer, 2)
Thank you!
Chris
