Maybe I'm still not understanding, but I don't see how you're going to
do this without a massive pile of spaghetti code and a function with
about 12 parameters. Feel free to show some code, but I think this is
a non-starter.
Hhmmm,...
Indeed, indeed, if a single function tries to handle all the ALTER TABLE
options, it needs many function arguments, because ALTER TABLE is one of
the most functional statement in PostgreSQL...
If the basis is head of the execution phase, it does not need a big switch
... case branch in ATSimplePermissions, because it is already branched in
ATExecCmd(). However, it also has tradeoff that we have multiple minor version
of functions to check ALTER TABLE permissions.
Perhaps, it may be a good idea to make two conceptual patches both head of
the ATPrepCmd() and ATExec*(). They will make clear good/bad points between
two approaches.
Is it waste of efforts?
