PostgreSQL将非递归项的输出转换为正确的类型

我有以下PostgreSQL查询:

WITH RECURSIVE disease_tree AS
(
SELECT ref_disease_id, uid, parent, level, NULL AS subtype, NULL AS specific_subtype
FROM ref_disease
WHERE parent IS NULL

UNION ALL

SELECT d.ref_disease_id, d.uid, d.parent, d.level,  
  CASE 
      WHEN d.level = 2 THEN d.uid
      ELSE dtr.subtype END AS subtype,
  CASE 
      WHEN d.level = 3 THEN d.name
      ELSE NULL END AS specific_subtype
FROM ref_disease As d
INNER JOIN disease_tree AS dtr
ON d.parent = dtr.uid
)
select ref_disease_id, uid, level, subtype, specific_subtype from disease_tree 

到目前为止一切正常。但根据我的应用程序逻辑,我必须在以下行返回d.uid而不是d.nameWHEN d.level = 3 THEN d.name

所以新查询如下:

WITH RECURSIVE disease_tree AS
(
SELECT ref_disease_id, uid, parent, level, NULL AS subtype, NULL AS specific_subtype
FROM ref_disease
WHERE parent IS NULL

UNION ALL

SELECT d.ref_disease_id, d.uid, d.parent, d.level,  
  CASE 
      WHEN d.level = 2 THEN d.uid
      ELSE dtr.subtype END AS subtype,
  CASE 
      WHEN d.level = 3 THEN d.uid
      ELSE NULL END AS specific_subtype
FROM ref_disease As d
INNER JOIN disease_tree AS dtr
ON d.parent = dtr.uid
)
select ref_disease_id, uid, level, subtype, specific_subtype from disease_tree 

但失败并出现以下错误:

ERROR:  recursive query "disease_tree" column 6 has type text in non-recursive term but type character varying overall
LINE 3: ..._disease_id, uid, parent, level, NULL AS subtype, NULL AS sp...
                                                             ^
HINT:  Cast the output of the non-recursive term to the correct type.

如何投射输出并修复它?

case表达式返回单个类型,派生自thenwhere子句中的类型。默认情况下,NULL是文字(我认为)。

您的案例似乎是混合类型。所以,转换价值观。 Postgres有一个很好的简写::<type>

(CASE WHEN d.level = 2 THEN d.uid::text
      ELSE dtr.subtype::text
 END) AS subtype,

您希望在CASE内进行转换,否则您可能会遇到运行时错误,因为尝试将字符串转换为数字。
