42.14. Object name search rule

  1. When local variable in package and column name table are the same name, the column names take precedence.


    create table test(a int);
    insert into test values(1);

    CREATE OR REPLACE function GET_AVG_PRICE()
      RETURN text IS

      a int;
    BEGIN
  
       select  a /*column*/ into a /*package variable */ 
       from test limit 1;
       dbms_output.put_line(a);
       
       return a || '';
    END GET_AVG_PRICE;
    /
  1. When local variable in package and table name are the same name, the table names take precedence.

    
    create table tn (id int);
    
    create package tn IS
    id text;
    end;
    /
    
    
    CREATE OR REPLACE function abc()
      RETURN text IS
    
      a tn.id%type; -- int
      v text;
    BEGIN
       select  pg_typeof(a) into v ;
       dbms_output.put_line(v);
    
    
       return v;
    END abc;
    /
    

In addition, package name and schema name are not allowed to be duplicated, so there is no conflict.
