useless substructure for its RangeTblEntry nodes. (I chose to keep using the same struct node type and just zero out the link fields for unneeded info, rather than making a separate ExecRangeTblEntry type --- it seemed too fragile to have two different rangetable representations.) Along the way, put subplans into a list in the toplevel PlannedStmt node, and have SubPlan nodes refer to them by list index instead of direct pointers. Vadim wanted to do that years ago, but I never understood what he was on about until now. It makes things a *whole* lot more robust, because we can stop worrying about duplicate processing of subplans during expression tree traversals. That's been a constant source of bugs, and it's finally gone. There are some consequent simplifications yet to be made, like not using a separate EState for subplans in the executor, but I'll tackle that later.
This directory does more than tokenize and parse SQL queries. It also creates Query structures for the various complex queries that is passed to the optimizer and then executor. parser.c things start here scan.l break query into tokens scansup.c handle escapes in input keywords.c turn keywords into specific tokens gram.y parse the tokens and fill query-type-specific structures analyze.c handle post-parse processing for each query type parse_clause.c handle clauses like WHERE, ORDER BY, GROUP BY, ... parse_coerce.c used for coercing expressions of different types parse_expr.c handle expressions like col, col + 3, x = 3 or x = 4 parse_oper.c handle operations in expressions parse_agg.c handle aggregates, like SUM(col1), AVG(col2), ... parse_func.c handle functions, table.column and column identifiers parse_node.c create nodes for various structures parse_target.c handle the result list of the query parse_relation.c support routines for tables and column handling parse_type.c support routines for type handling
