Tom Lane 5ebaaa4944 Implement SQL-standard LATERAL subqueries. ... This patch implements the standard syntax of LATERAL attached to a sub-SELECT in FROM, and also allows LATERAL attached to a function in FROM, since set-returning function calls are expected to be one of the principal use-cases. The main change here is a rewrite of the mechanism for keeping track of which relations are visible for column references while the FROM clause is being scanned. The parser "namespace" lists are no longer lists of bare RTEs, but are lists of ParseNamespaceItem structs, which carry an RTE pointer as well as some visibility-controlling flags. Aside from supporting LATERAL correctly, this lets us get rid of the ancient hacks that required rechecking subqueries and JOIN/ON and function-in-FROM expressions for invalid references after they were initially parsed. Invalid column references are now always correctly detected on sight. In passing, remove assorted parser error checks that are now dead code by virtue of our having gotten rid of add_missing_from, as well as some comments that are obsolete for the same reason. (It was mainly add_missing_from that caused so much fudging here in the first place.) The planner support for this feature is very minimal, and will be improved in future patches. It works well enough for testing purposes, though. catversion bump forced due to new field in RangeTblEntry.		2012-08-07 19:02:54 -04:00
