Instead of passing around a pointer to the RangeTblEntry that provides the desired column, pass a pointer to the associated ParseNamespaceItem. The RTE is trivially reachable from the nsitem, and having the ParseNamespaceItem allows access to additional information. As proof of concept for that, add the rangetable index to ParseNamespaceItem, and use that to get rid of RTERangeTablePosn searches. (I have in mind to teach the parser to generate some different representation for Vars that are nullable by outer joins, and keeping the necessary information in ParseNamespaceItems seems like a reasonable approach to that. But whether that ever happens or not, this seems like good cleanup.) Also refactor the code around scanRTEForColumn so that the "fuzzy match" stuff does not leak out of parse_relation.c.

PostgreSQL Database Management System ===================================== This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL database management system. PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types and functions. This distribution also contains C language bindings. PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here: https://www.postgresql.org/download See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install PostgreSQL. That file also lists supported operating systems and hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL system. Copyright and license information can be found in the file COPYRIGHT. A comprehensive documentation set is included in this distribution; it can be read as described in the installation instructions. The latest version of this software may be obtained at https://www.postgresql.org/download/. For more information look at our web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
