Not quite. It treated the NULL as unknown and waited for the next branch of the set operation. You likely either had another NULL there, or a character string literal. It gives up there and goes to text instead of looking for the next arm of the setop.
Fun fact, #PostgreSQL limits identifiers to 63 bytes. This is reasonable.
But it will accept creation of resources with identifiers longer than that and automatically truncate them with nothing more than a notice-level log message.
I sincerly hope the SQL standard mandates this because if not, it is a puzzling, bug-inducing choice.
The SQL Standard mandates that identifiers accept at least 128 characters (not octets).
The #PostgreSQL decision to only allow 63 octets is an arguably reasonable choice. Its decision to silently truncate is absolutely abhorrent.
Come see Vik Fearing (@xocolatl) talk about "Window Functions Are Easier and More Powerful Than You Think" at Nordic PGDay in Copenhagen!
Come see Ellyne Phneah talk about "Tuning community parameters: Hosting PostgreSQL events that perform"!
In case you missed the info on other platforms, we're gonna have a #PostgreSQL #meetup in Paris next month on Thursday 13th March (the week before @pgDayParis) and I'll be there speaking about incremental backups (and a little bit about #pgBackRest 🤫)
