Re: Forward declaration of table

Hello again,

I have went the ALTER TABLE route to add my 2 "cyclic" FKs:

https://gist.github.com/afarber/c40b9fc5447335db7d24

And now I have these 2 tables in my 9.5.3 database:

#TABLE words_moves;

mid | action | gid | uid | played |

tiles

| score

-----+--------+-----+-----+-------------------------------+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+-------

2 | play | 1 | 1 | 2016-08-24 20:36:39.888224+02 | [{"col": 7,
"row": 8, "value": 2, "letter": "Р"}, {"col": 7, "row": 7, "value": 1,
"letter": "Е"}, {"col": 7, "row": 6, "value": 10, "letter": "Ф"}]

| 13

3 | play | 2 | 1 | 2016-08-24 21:48:14.448361+02 | [{"col": 7,
"row": 12, "value": 5, "letter": "Ь"}, {"col": 7, "row": 10, "value": 1,
"letter": "Е"}, {"col": 7, "row": 9, "value": 1, "letter": "О"}, {"col": 7,
"row": 11, "value": 10, "letter": "Ш"}, {"col": 7, "row": 8, "value": 2,
"letter": "Р"}, {"col": 7, "row": 7, "value": 2, "letter": "П"}] | 31

4 | play | 1 | 2 | 2016-08-24 21:50:55.231266+02 | [{"col": 8,
"row": 8, "value": 2, "letter": "Й"}, {"col": 8, "row": 7, "value": 1,
"letter": "А"}, {"col": 8, "row": 6, "value": 2, "letter": "Р"}, {"col": 8,
"row": 5, "value": 2, "letter": "С"}]

ARRAY_TO_STRING(hand2,
'') AS hand2,

FROM words_games
WHERE player1 = 1

OR player2 = 1;

gid | created | player1 | player2 | played1 | played2 | hand1 |
hand2 | bid

2 | 1472068074 | 1 | 0 | 1472068094 | 0 | ЫТОВЕРЛ |

1 | 1472063658 | 1 | 2 | 1472063800 | 1472068255 | ВГЦЕСИУ |
ННДНСВТ | 1
(2 rows)

Then I am trying to perform the LEFT JOIN to return active games and recent
moves for player 1, but for some reason the first two columns are empty:

# SELECT
m.tiles,

m.score,

g.gid,

EXTRACT(EPOCH FROM g.created)::int AS created,
g.player1,

COALESCE(g.player2, 0) AS player2,

COALESCE(EXTRACT(EPOCH FROM g.played1)::int, 0) AS played1,
COALESCE(EXTRACT(EPOCH FROM g.played2)::int, 0) AS
played2, ARRAY_TO_STRING(g.hand1, '') AS
hand1,
ARRAY_TO_STRING(g.hand2, '') AS hand2,
g.bid

FROM words_games g LEFT JOIN words_moves m
ON (g.mid1 = m.mid OR g.mid2 = m.mid)
WHERE g.player1 = 1

OR g.player2 = 1;

tiles | score | gid | created | player1 | player2 | played1 |
played2 | hand1 | hand2 | bid
-------+-------+-----+------------+---------+---------+------------+------------+---------+---------+-----
| | 2 | 1472068074 | 1 | 0 | 1472068094 |
0 | ЫТОВЕРЛ | ЕНХЯЭАК | 1
| | 1 | 1472063658 | 1 | 2 | 1472063800 |
1472068255 | ВГЦЕСИУ | ННДНСВТ | 1
(2 rows)

Why aren't m.tiles and m.score returned please?
