Why do we need to support DOMAIN in this patch? Isn't this only for tables?

It looks a bit odd that except CONSTRAINT_NOTNULL all other
constraints are handled here. I think the reason is callers themselves
deal with not null constraints, if so, we can probably add a comment.

obtainConstraints()
{
...
+ if (constrForm->conindid &&
+ (constrForm->contype == CONSTRAINT_PRIMARY ||
+ constrForm->contype == CONSTRAINT_UNIQUE ||
+ constrForm->contype == CONSTRAINT_EXCLUSION))
+ {
+ Oid tblspc = get_rel_tablespace(constrForm->conindid);
+
+ if (OidIsValid(tblspc))
+ append_string_object(constr,
+ "USING INDEX TABLESPACE %{tblspc}s",
+ "tblspc",
+ get_tablespace_name(tblspc));
...
}
How is it guaranteed that we can get tablespace_name after getting id?
If there is something that prevents tablespace from being removed
between these two calls then it could be better to write a comment for
the same.
4. It seems RelationGetColumnDefault() assumed that the passed
attribute always had a default because it didn't verify the return
value of build_column_default(). Now, all but one of its callers in
deparse_ColumnDef() check that attribute has a default value before
calling this function. I think either we change that caller or have an
error handling in RelationGetColumnDefault(). It might be better to
add a comment in RelationGetColumnDefault() to reflect that callers
ensure that the passed attribute has a default value and then have an
assert for it as well.

I think we don't need to perform additional syscache lookup to get
attno as we already have that in this function and is used at other
places.

It may be better to add some comments to explain what exactly are we doing here.
