about the pstate node
Dear Sir:
I am trying to analyse the source code in " /backend/paser". And I am really puzzled about the node "PaserState",especially the meaning of p_namespace and p_joinlist!
Would you please explain it for me ?? Thank you !
your sincere zhai

p_namespace is a list of the FROM items (RangeTblRef's or JoinExpr's)
whose fields can validly be referenced from the current point in the
query. We alter it while scanning the ON clause of a JOIN, for example,
because the ON clause is only allowed to refer to fields from the JOIN's
input tables. p_joinlist has the same structure but is a list of all
the FROM items that the planner must join to execute the query.
Usually the final states of p_namespace and p_joinlist are the same, but
there are special cases where items get entered into only one list or the
other (mostly for NEW and OLD in rules, IIRC).
