Hackers,
It appears that something broke the ability to refer to columns by full
SQL path names in 9.0. That is, references to columns as
schema.table.col will produce a completely bogus error which did not
exist on previous versions.
The following works perfectly well in 8.4:
postgres=# create table test1( id serial, val integer );
NOTICE: CREATE TABLE will create implicit sequence "test1_id_seq" for
serial column "test1.id"
CREATE TABLE
postgres=# create table test2( id serial, val integer );
NOTICE: CREATE TABLE will create implicit sequence "test2_id_seq" for
serial column "test2.id"
CREATE TABLE
postgres=# insert into test1(val) select gs.i from generate_series(1,10)
as gs(i);
INSERT 0 10
postgres=# insert into test2(val) select gs.i from generate_series(1,10)
as gs(i);
INSERT 0 10
postgres=# select test1.* from public.test1, public.test2 where
public.test1.id = public.test2.id;
id | val
----+-----
1 | 1
2 | 2
3 | 3
4 | 4
5 | 5
6 | 6
7 | 7
8 | 8
9 | 9
10 | 10
(10 rows)
postgres=# update public.test1 set val=public.test2.val from
public.test2 where public.test1.id = public.test2.id;
UPDATE 10
However, it breaks in 9.0a5:
postgres=# create table test1( id serial, val integer );
NOTICE: CREATE TABLE will create implicit sequence "test1_id_seq" for
serial column "test1.id"
CREATE TABLE
postgres=# create table test2( id serial, val integer );
NOTICE: CREATE TABLE will create implicit sequence "test2_id_seq" for
serial column "test2.id"
CREATE TABLE
postgres=# insert into test1(val) select gs.i from generate_series(1,10)
as gs(i);
INSERT 0 10
postgres=# insert into test2(val) select gs.i from generate_series(1,10)
as gs(i);
INSERT 0 10
postgres=# select test1.* from public.test1, public.test2 where
public.test1.id = public.test2.id;
ERROR: invalid reference to FROM-clause entry for table "test1"
