* Handle default NULL insertion a little better.Tom Lane2025-01-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If a column is omitted in an INSERT, and there's no column default, the code in preptlist.c generates a NULL Const to be inserted. Furthermore, if the column is of a domain type, we wrap the Const in CoerceToDomain, so as to throw a run-time error if the domain has a NOT NULL constraint. That's fine as far as it goes, but there are two problems: 1. We're being sloppy about the type/typmod that the Const is labeled with. It really should have the domain's base type/typmod, since it's the input to CoerceToDomain not the output. This can result in coerce_to_domain inserting a useless length-coercion function (useless because it's being applied to a null). The coercion would typically get const-folded away later, but it'd be better not to create it in the first place. 2. We're not applying expression preprocessing (specifically, eval_const_expressions) to the resulting expression tree. The planner's primary expression-preprocessing pass already happened, so that means the length coercion step and CoerceToDomain node miss preprocessing altogether. This is at the least inefficient, since it means the length coercion and CoerceToDomain will actually be executed for each inserted row, though they could be const-folded away in most cases. Worse, it seems possible that missing preprocessing for the length coercion could result in an invalid plan (for example, due to failing to perform default-function-argument insertion). I'm not aware of any live bug of that sort with core datatypes, and it might be unreachable for extension types as well because of restrictions of CREATE CAST, but I'm not entirely convinced that it's unreachable. Hence, it seems worth back-patching the fix (although I only went back to v14, as the patch doesn't apply cleanly at all in v13). There are several places in the rewriter that are building null domain constants the same way as preptlist.c. While those are before the planner and hence don't have any reachable bug, they're still applying a length coercion that will be const-folded away later, uselessly wasting cycles. Hence, make a utility routine that all of these places can call to do it right. Making this code more careful about the typmod assigned to the generated NULL constant has visible but cosmetic effects on some of the plans shown in contrib/postgres_fdw's regression tests.

* Fix Y2038 issues with MyStartTime.Nathan Bossart2024-10-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Several places treat MyStartTime as a "long", which is only 32 bits wide on some platforms. In reality, MyStartTime is a pg_time_t, i.e., a signed 64-bit integer. This will lead to interesting bugs on the aforementioned systems in 2038 when signed 32-bit integers are no longer sufficient to store Unix time (e.g., "pg_ctl start" hanging). To fix, ensure that MyStartTime is handled as a 64-bit value everywhere. (Of course, users will need to ensure that time_t is 64 bits wide on their system, too.)

* Restrict accesses to non-system views and foreign tables during pg_dump.Masahiko Sawada2024-08-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When pg_dump retrieves the list of database objects and performs the data dump, there was possibility that objects are replaced with others of the same name, such as views, and access them. This vulnerability could result in code execution with superuser privileges during the pg_dump process. This issue can arise when dumping data of sequences, foreign tables (only 13 or later), or tables registered with a WHERE clause in the extension configuration table. To address this, pg_dump now utilizes the newly introduced restrict_nonsystem_relation_kind GUC parameter to restrict the accesses to non-system views and foreign tables during the dump process. This new GUC parameter is added to back branches too, but these changes do not require cluster recreation. Back-patch to all supported branches.

* postgres_fdw: Avoid "cursor can only scan forward" error.Etsuro Fujita2024-07-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit d844cd75a disallowed rewind in a non-scrollable cursor to resolve anomalies arising from such a cursor operation. However, this failed to take into account the assumption in postgres_fdw that when rescanning a foreign relation, it can rewind the cursor created for scanning the foreign relation without specifying the SCROLL option, regardless of its scrollability, causing this error when it tried to do such a rewind in a non-scrollable cursor. Fix by modifying postgres_fdw to instead recreate the cursor, regardless of its scrollability, when rescanning the foreign relation. (If we had a way to check its scrollability, we could improve this by rewinding it if it is scrollable and recreating it if not, but we do not have it, so this commit modifies it to recreate it in any case.)

* postgres_fdw: Refuse to send FETCH FIRST WITH TIES to remote servers.Etsuro Fujita2024-06-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, when considering LIMIT pushdown, postgres_fdw failed to check whether the query has this clause, which led to pushing false LIMIT clauses, causing incorrect results. This clause has been supported since v13, so we need to do a remote-version check before deciding that it will be safe to push such a clause, but we do not currently have a way to do the check (without accessing the remote server); disable pushing such a clause for now.

* Make postgres_fdw request remote time zone 'GMT' not 'UTC'.Tom Lane2024-04-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This should have the same results for all practical purposes. The advantage of selecting 'GMT' is that it's guaranteed to work even when the remote system's timezone database is missing entries, because pg_tzset() hard-wires handling of that, at least in 9.2 and later. (It seems like it would be a good idea to similarly hard-wire correct handling of 'UTC', but that'll be a little more invasive than I want to consider back-patching. Leave that for another day when we're not in feature freeze.) Per trouble report from Adnan Dautovic. Back-patch to all supported branches.

* Fix deparsing of Consts in postgres_fdw ORDER BYDavid Rowley2024-03-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For UNION ALL queries where a union child query contained a foreign table, if the targetlist of that query contained a constant, and the top-level query performed an ORDER BY which contained the column for the constant value, then postgres_fdw would find the EquivalenceMember with the Const and then try to produce an ORDER BY containing that Const. This caused problems with INT typed Consts as these could appear to be requests to order by an ordinal column position rather than the constant value. This could lead to either an error such as: ERROR: ORDER BY position <int const> is not in select list or worse, if the constant value is a valid column, then we could just sort by the wrong column altogether. Here we fix this issue by just not including these Consts in the ORDER BY clause. In passing, add a new section for testing ORDER BY in the postgres_fdw tests and move two existing tests which were misplaced in the WHERE clause testing section into it.

* Fix resource leak when a FDW's ForeignAsyncRequest function failsHeikki Linnakangas2023-11-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If an error is thrown after calling CreateWaitEventSet(), the memory of a WaitEventSet is free'd as it's allocated in the short-lived memory context, but the file descriptor (on epoll- or kqueue-based systems) or handles (on Windows) that it contains are leaked. Use PG_TRY-FINALLY to ensure it gets freed. (On master, I will apply a better fix, using ResourceOwners to track the WaitEventSet, but that's not backpatchable.) The added test doesn't check for leaking resources, so it passed even before this commit. But at least it covers the code path.

* Disallow replacing joins with scans in problematic cases.Etsuro Fujita2023-07-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit e7cb7ee14, which introduced the infrastructure for FDWs and custom scan providers to replace joins with scans, failed to add support handling of pseudoconstant quals assigned to replaced joins in createplan.c, leading to an incorrect plan without a gating Result node when postgres_fdw replaced a join with such a qual. To fix, we could add the support by 1) modifying the ForeignPath and CustomPath structs to store the list of RestrictInfo nodes to apply to the join, as in JoinPaths, if they represent foreign and custom scans replacing a join with a scan, and by 2) modifying create_scan_plan() in createplan.c to use that list in that case, instead of the baserestrictinfo list, to get pseudoconstant quals assigned to the join; but #1 would cause an ABI break. So fix by modifying the infrastructure to just disallow replacing joins with such quals. Back-patch to all supported branches. Reported by Nishant Sharma.

So do so here. As noted in the discussion, coming up with a test case in the core regression suite for this fix has turned out to be tricky, so the test case is added to the postgres_fdw's suite instead. postgresGetForeignRelSize()'s use of user mapping for the user specified in RelOptInfo.userid makes it relatively easier to craft a test case around.

* Fix filtering of "cloned" outer-join quals some more.Tom Lane2023-05-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We've had multiple issues with the clause_is_computable_at logic that I introduced in 2489d76c4: it's been known to accept more than one clone of the same qual at the same plan node, and also to accept no clones at all. It's looking impractical to get it 100% right on the basis of the currently-stored information, so fix it by introducing a new RestrictInfo field "incompatible_relids" that explicitly shows which outer joins a given clone mustn't be pushed above. In principle we could populate this field in every RestrictInfo, but that would cost space and there doesn't presently seem to be a need for it in general. Also, while deconstruct_distribute_oj_quals can easily fill the field with the remaining members of the commutative join set that it's considering, computing it in the general case seems again pretty complicated. So for now, just fill it for clone quals. Along the way, fix a bug that may or may not be only latent: equivclass.c was generating replacement clauses with is_pushed_down and has_clone/is_clone markings that didn't match their required_relids. This led me to conclude that leaving the clone flags out of make_restrictinfo's purview wasn't such a great idea after all, so add them. Per report from Richard Guo.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The leak would show up when using batch inserts with foreign tables included in a partition tree, as the slots used in the batch were not reset once processed.

The API used for storing credentials was added to MIT Kerberos over a decade ago while for the other libraries which appear to be mainly based on Heimdal, which exists explicitly to be a re-implementation of MIT Kerberos, the API never made it to a released version (even though it was added to the Heimdal git repo over 5 years ago..).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | postgres_fdw will close its remote session if an sinval cache reset occurs, since it's possible that that means some FDW parameters changed. We had two tests that were trying to ensure that the session remains alive by setting debug_discard_caches = 0; but that's not sufficient. Even though the tests seem stable enough in the buildfarm, they flap a lot under CI. In the first test, which is checking the ability to recover from a lost connection, we can stabilize the results by just not caring whether pg_terminate_backend() finds a victim backend. If a reset did happen, there won't be a session to terminate anymore, but the test can proceed anyway. (Arguably, we are then not testing the unintentional-disconnect case, but as long as that scenario is exercised in most runs I think it's fine; testing the reset-driven case is of value too.) In the second test, which is trying to verify the application_name displayed in pg_stat_activity by a remote session, we had a race condition in that the remote session might go away before we can fetch its pg_stat_activity entry. We can close that race and make the test more certainly test what it intends to by arranging things so that the remote session itself fetches its pg_stat_activity entry (based on PID rather than a somewhat-circular assumption about the application name). Both tests now demonstrably pass under debug_discard_caches = 1, so we can remove that hack. Back-patch into relevant back branches.

* Invent "join domains" to replace the below_outer_join hack.Tom Lane2023-01-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | EquivalenceClasses are now understood as applying within a "join domain", which is a set of inner-joined relations (possibly underneath an outer join). We no longer need to treat an EC from below an outer join as a second-class citizen. I have hopes of eventually being able to treat outer-join clauses via EquivalenceClasses, by means of only applying deductions within the EC's join domain. There are still problems in the way of that, though, so for now the reconsider_outer_join_clause logic is still here. I haven't been able to get rid of RestrictInfo.is_pushed_down either, but I wonder if that could be recast using JoinDomains. I had to hack one test case in postgres_fdw.sql to make it still test what it was meant to, because postgres_fdw is inconsistent about how it deals with quals containing non-shippable expressions; see https://postgr.es/m/1691374.1671659838@sss.pgh.pa.us.

One use-case for it was in join_clause_is_movable_to, but we can now replace that usage with a check to see if the clause's relids include any outer join that can null the target relation. The other use-case was in join_clause_is_movable_into, but that test can just be dropped entirely now that the clause's relids include outer joins. Furthermore, join_clause_is_movable_into should now be accurate enough that it will accept anything returned by generate_join_implied_equalities, so we can restore the Assert that was diked out in commit 95f4e59c3. Remove the outerjoin_delayed mechanism. We needed this before to prevent quals from getting evaluated below outer joins that should null some of their vars. Now that we consider varnullingrels while placing quals, that's taken care of automatically, so throw the whole thing away. Teach remove_useless_result_rtes to also remove useless FromExprs. Having done that, the delay_upper_joins flag serves no purpose any more and we can remove it, largely reverting 11086f2f2. Use constant TRUE for "dummy" clauses when throwing back outer joins. This improves on a hack I introduced in commit 6a6522529. If we have a left-join clause l.x = r.y, and a WHERE clause l.x = constant, we generate r.y = constant and then don't really have a need for the join clause. But we must throw the join clause back anyway after marking it redundant, so that the join search heuristics won't think this is a clauseless join and avoid it. That was a kluge introduced under time pressure, and after looking at it I thought of a better way: let's just introduce constant-TRUE "join clauses" instead, and get rid of them at the end. This improves the generated plans for such cases by not having to test a redundant join clause. We can also get rid of the ugly hack used to mark such clauses as redundant for selectivity estimation.

* Make Vars be outer-join-aware.Tom Lane2023-01-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Traditionally we used the same Var struct to represent the value of a table column everywhere in parse and plan trees. This choice predates our support for SQL outer joins, and it's really a pretty bad idea with outer joins, because the Var's value can depend on where it is in the tree: it might go to NULL above an outer join. So expression nodes that are equal() per equalfuncs.c might not represent the same value, which is a huge correctness hazard for the planner. To improve this, decorate Var nodes with a bitmapset showing which outer joins (identified by RTE indexes) may have nulled them at the point in the parse tree where the Var appears. This allows us to trust that equal() Vars represent the same value. A certain amount of klugery is still needed to cope with cases where we re-order two outer joins, but it's possible to make it work without sacrificing that core principle. PlaceHolderVars receive similar decoration for the same reason. In the planner, we include these outer join bitmapsets into the relids that an expression is considered to depend on, and in consequence also add outer-join relids to the relids of join RelOptInfos. This allows us to correctly perceive whether an expression can be calculated above or below a particular outer join. This change affects FDWs that want to plan foreign joins. They *must* follow suit when labeling foreign joins in order to match with the core planner, but for many purposes (if postgres_fdw is any guide) they'd prefer to consider only base relations within the join. To support both requirements, redefine ForeignScan.fs_relids as base+OJ relids, and add a new field fs_base_relids that's set up by the core planner. Large though it is, this commit just does the minimum necessary to install the new mechanisms and get check-world passing again. Follow-up patches will perform some cleanup. (The README additions and comments mention some stuff that will appear in the follow-up.) Patch by me; thanks to Richard Guo for review.

* dblink, postgres_fdw: Handle interrupts during connection establishmentAndres Freund2023-01-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Until now dblink and postgres_fdw did not process interrupts during connection establishment. Besides preventing query cancellations etc, this can lead to undetected deadlocks, as global barriers are not processed. These aforementioned undetected deadlocks are the reason for the spate of CI test failures in the FreeBSD 'test_running' step. Fix the bug by using the helper from libpq-be-fe-helpers.h, introduced in a prior commit. Besides fixing the bug, this also removes duplicated code around reserving file descriptors. As the change is relatively large and there are no field reports of the problem, don't backpatch for now.

* Get rid of the "new" and "old" entries in a view's rangetable.Tom Lane2023-01-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The rule system needs "old" and/or "new" pseudo-RTEs in rule actions that are ON INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE. Historically it's put such entries into the ON SELECT rules of views as well, but those are really quite vestigial. The only thing we've used them for is to carry the view's relid forward to AcquireExecutorLocks (so that we can re-lock the view to verify it hasn't changed before re-using a plan) and to carry its relid and permissions data forward to execution-time permissions checks. What we can do instead of that is to retain these fields of the RTE_RELATION RTE for the view even after we convert it to an RTE_SUBQUERY RTE. This requires a tiny amount of extra complication in the planner and AcquireExecutorLocks, but on the other hand we can get rid of the logic that moves that data from one place to another. The principal immediate benefit of doing this, aside from a small saving in the pg_rewrite data for views, is that these pseudo-RTEs no longer trigger ruleutils.c's heuristic about qualifying variable names when the rangetable's length is more than 1. That results in quite a number of small simplifications in regression test outputs, which are all to the good IMO. Bump catversion because we need to dump a few more fields of RTE_SUBQUERY RTEs. While those will always be zeroes anyway in stored rules (because we'd never populate them until query rewrite) they are useful for debugging, and it seems like we'd better make sure to transmit such RTEs accurately in plans sent to parallel workers. I don't think the executor actually examines these fields after startup, but someday it might. This is a second attempt at committing 1b4d280ea. The difference from the first time is that now we can add some filtering rules to AdjustUpgrade.pm to allow cross-version upgrade testing to pass despite all the cosmetic changes in CREATE VIEW outputs.

* Remove redundant grouping and DISTINCT columns.Tom Lane2023-01-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Avoid explicitly grouping by columns that we know are redundant for sorting, for example we need group by only one of x and y in SELECT ... WHERE x = y GROUP BY x, y This comes up more often than you might think, as shown by the changes in the regression tests. It's nearly free to detect too, since we are just piggybacking on the existing logic that detects redundant pathkeys. (In some of the existing plans that change, it's visible that a sort step preceding the grouping step already didn't bother to sort by the redundant column, making the old plan a bit silly-looking.) To do this, build processed_groupClause and processed_distinctClause lists that omit any provably-redundant sort items, and consult those not the originals where relevant. This means that within the planner, one should usually consult root->processed_groupClause or root->processed_distinctClause if one wants to know which columns are to be grouped on; but to check whether grouping or distinct-ing is happening at all, check non-NIL-ness of parse->groupClause or parse->distinctClause. This is comparable to longstanding rules about handling the HAVING clause, so I don't think it'll be a huge maintenance problem. nodeAgg.c also needs minor mods, because it's now possible to generate AGG_PLAIN and AGG_SORTED Agg nodes with zero grouping columns.

* Revert "Get rid of the "new" and "old" entries in a view's rangetable."Tom Lane2023-01-11
| | | | | | | | | | | This reverts commit 1b4d280ea1eb7ddb2e16654d5fa16960bb959566. It's broken the buildfarm members that run cross-version-upgrade tests, because they're not prepared to deal with cosmetic differences between CREATE VIEW commands emitted by older servers and HEAD. Even if we had a solution to that, which we don't, it'd take some time to roll it out to the affected animals. This improvement isn't valuable enough to justify addressing that problem on an emergency basis, so revert it for now.

* Check relkind before using TABLESAMPLE in postgres_fdwTomas Vondra2023-01-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Check the remote relkind before trying to use TABLESAMPLE to acquire sample from the remote relation. Even if the remote server version has TABLESAMPLE support, the foreign table may point to incompatible relkind (e.g. a view or a sequence). If the relkind does not support TABLESAMPLE, error out if TABLESAMPLE was requested specifically (as system/bernoulli), or fallback to random just like we do for old server versions. We currently end up disabling sampling for such relkind values anyway, due to reltuples being -1 or 1, but that seems rather accidental, and might get broken by improving reltuples estimates, etc. So better to make the check explicit.

* Sample postgres_fdw tables remotely during ANALYZETomas Vondra2022-12-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When collecting ANALYZE sample on foreign tables, postgres_fdw fetched all rows and performed the sampling locally. For large tables this means transferring and immediately discarding large amounts of data. This commit allows the sampling to be performed on the remote server, transferring only the much smaller sample. The sampling is performed using the built-in TABLESAMPLE methods (system, bernoulli) or random() function, depending on the remote server version. Remote sampling can be enabled by analyze_sampling on the foreign server and/or foreign table, with supported values 'off', 'auto', 'system', 'bernoulli' and 'random'. The default value is 'auto' which uses either 'bernoulli' (TABLESAMPLE method) or 'random' (for remote servers without TABLESAMPLE support).

* Allow batching of inserts during cross-partition updates.Etsuro Fujita2022-12-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 927f453a9 disallowed batching added by commit b663a4136 to be used for the inserts performed as part of cross-partition updates of partitioned tables, mainly because the previous code in nodeModifyTable.c couldn't handle pending inserts into foreign-table partitions that are also UPDATE target partitions. But we don't have such a limitation anymore (cf. commit ffbb7e65a), so let's allow for this by removing from execPartition.c the restriction added by commit 927f453a9 that batching is only allowed if the query command type is CMD_INSERT. In postgres_fdw, since commit 86dc90056 changed it to effectively disable cross-partition updates in the case where a foreign-table partition chosen to insert rows into is also an UPDATE target partition, allow batching in the case where a foreign-table partition chosen to do so is *not* also an UPDATE target partition. This is enabled by the "batch_size" option added by commit b663a4136, which is disabled by default. This patch also adjusts the test case added by commit 927f453a9 to confirm that the inserts performed as part of a cross-partition update of a partitioned table indeed uses batching.

* Remove pessimistic cost penalization from Incremental SortDavid Rowley2022-12-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When incremental sorts were added in v13 a 1.5x pessimism factor was added to the cost modal. Seemingly this was done because the cost modal only has an estimate of the total number of input rows and the number of presorted groups. It assumes that the input rows will be evenly distributed throughout the presorted groups. The 1.5x pessimism factor was added to slightly reduce the likelihood of incremental sorts being used in the hope to avoid performance regressions where an incremental sort plan was picked and turned out slower due to a large skew in the number of rows in the presorted groups. An additional quirk with the path generation code meant that we could consider both a sort and an incremental sort on paths with presorted keys. This meant that with the pessimism factor, it was possible that we opted to perform a sort rather than an incremental sort when the given path had presorted keys. Here we remove the 1.5x pessimism factor to allow incremental sorts to have a fairer chance at being chosen against a full sort. Previously we would generally create a sort path on the cheapest input path (if that wasn't sorted already) and incremental sort paths on any path which had presorted keys. This meant that if the cheapest input path wasn't completely sorted but happened to have presorted keys, we would create a full sort path *and* an incremental sort path on that input path. Here we change this logic so that if there are presorted keys, we only create an incremental sort path, and create sort paths only when a full sort is required. Both the removal of the cost pessimism factor and the changes made to the path generation make it more likely that incremental sorts will now be chosen. That, of course, as with teaching the planner any new tricks, means an increased likelihood that the planner will perform an incremental sort when it's not the best method. Our standard escape hatch for these cases is an enable_* GUC. enable_incremental_sort already exists for this. This came out of a report by Pavel Luzanov where he mentioned that the master branch was choosing to perform a Seq Scan -> Sort -> Group Aggregate for his query with an ORDER BY aggregate function. The v15 plan for his query performed an Index Scan -> Group Aggregate, of course, the aggregate performed the final sort internally in nodeAgg.c for the aggregate's ORDER BY. The ideal plan would have been to use the index, which provided partially sorted input then use an incremental sort to provide the aggregate with the sorted input. This was not being chosen due to the pessimism in the incremental sort cost modal, so here we remove that and rationalize the path generation so that sort and incremental sort plans don't have to needlessly compete. We assume that it's senseless to ever use a full sort on a given input path where an incremental sort can be performed.

* Rework query relation permission checkingAlvaro Herrera2022-12-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, information about the permissions to be checked on relations mentioned in a query is stored in their range table entries. So the executor must scan the entire range table looking for relations that need to have permissions checked. This can make the permission checking part of the executor initialization needlessly expensive when many inheritance children are present in the range range. While the permissions need not be checked on the individual child relations, the executor still must visit every range table entry to filter them out. This commit moves the permission checking information out of the range table entries into a new plan node called RTEPermissionInfo. Every top-level (inheritance "root") RTE_RELATION entry in the range table gets one and a list of those is maintained alongside the range table. This new list is initialized by the parser when initializing the range table. The rewriter can add more entries to it as rules/views are expanded. Finally, the planner combines the lists of the individual subqueries into one flat list that is passed to the executor for checking. To make it quick to find the RTEPermissionInfo entry belonging to a given relation, RangeTblEntry gets a new Index field 'perminfoindex' that stores the corresponding RTEPermissionInfo's index in the query's list of the latter. ExecutorCheckPerms_hook has gained another List * argument; the signature is now: typedef bool (*ExecutorCheckPerms_hook_type) (List *rangeTable, List *rtePermInfos, bool ereport_on_violation); The first argument is no longer used by any in-core uses of the hook, but we leave it in place because there may be other implementations that do. Implementations should likely scan the rtePermInfos list to determine which operations to allow or deny.

* Stop accessing checkAsUser via RTE in some casesAlvaro Herrera2022-11-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A future commit will move the checkAsUser field from RangeTblEntry to a new node that, unlike RTEs, will only be created for tables mentioned in the query but not for the inheritance child relations added to the query by the planner. So, checkAsUser value for a given child relation will have to be obtained by referring to that for its ancestor mentioned in the query. In preparation, it seems better to expand the use of RelOptInfo.userid during planning in place of rte->checkAsUser so that there will be fewer places to adjust for the above change. Given that the child-to-ancestor mapping is not available during the execution of a given "child" ForeignScan node, add a checkAsUser field to ForeignScan to carry the child relation's RelOptInfo.userid.
