Bruce -
Around the first of the year, I started playing around with a schema
implementation. As you may recall, my first crack at changing file storage
names about a year ago was motivated by the need to avoid collisions
once schema were available.
Anyway, now that Vadim has removed a lot of the internal dependence
on relname for keeping track of relations, using the new relfinenode
many places relname used to be used, it seems to me that adding a
parallel schemaname to all the data structures that use relname isn't
as cumbersome as Peter might think. I hadn't tackled the relcache yet:
perhaps concatenating the schemaname and relname to use as the hash key
is the way to go for that.
Unfortunately, all that code is now 4 months old, and on my machine
at home. I has started with the rangetable entries, because hacked the
parser to allow 'SELECT * FROM schemaname.tablename' was easier than
'select schemaname.tablename.fieldname FROM', since the dot function
calling convention isn't allowed in the range list, while it is in the
target list.
I seem to recall tripping up on the query plan printer, of all things,
before other, paying work pushed it aside. I'll see if I can update that
code to the current tree, and send you something, if you'd like.
