currently support this because we must be able to build Vars referencing join columns, and varattno is only 16 bits wide. Perhaps this should be improved in future, but considering that it never came up before, I'm not sure the problem is worth much effort. Per bug #4070 from Marcello Ceschia. The problem seems largely academic in 8.0 and 7.4, because they have (different) O(N^2) performance issues with such wide joins, but back-patch all the way anyway.
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
