本篇内容介绍了“PostgreSQL查询优化对表达式预处理中连接Var溯源的过程是什么”的有关知识，在实际案例的操作过程中，不少人都会遇到这样的困境，接下来就让小编带领大家学习一下如何处理这些情况吧！希望大家仔细阅读，能够学有所成！
处理逻辑在主函数subquery_planner中通过调用flatten_join_alias_vars函数实现，该函数位于src/backend/optimizer/util/var.c文件中。
一、基本概念
连接Var溯源，意思是把连接产生的中间结果（中间结果也是Relation关系的一种）的投影替换为实际存在的关系的列（在PG中通过Var表示）。
如下面的SQL语句：
select a.*,b.grbh,b.je from t_dwxx a, lateral (select t1.dwbh,t1.grbh,t2.je from t_grxx t1 inner join t_jfxx t2 on t1.dwbh = a.dwbh and t1.grbh = t2.grbh) b;
b与a连接运算,查询树Query中的投影b.grbh和b.je这两列如需依赖关系b(子查询产生的中间结果),则需要把中间关系的投影列替换为实际的Relation的投影列,即t_grxx和t_jfxx的数据列.
PG源码中的注释：
/* * If the query has any join RTEs, replace join alias variables with * base-relation variables. We must do this first, since any expressions * we may extract from the joinaliasvars lists have not been preprocessed. * For example, if we did this after sublink processing, sublinks expanded * out from join aliases would not get processed. But we can skip this in * non-lateral RTE functions, VALUES lists, and TABLESAMPLE clauses, since * they can't contain any Vars of the current query level. */ if (root->hasJoinRTEs && !(kind == EXPRKIND_RTFUNC || kind == EXPRKIND_VALUES || kind == EXPRKIND_TABLESAMPLE || kind == EXPRKIND_TABLEFUNC)) expr = flatten_join_alias_vars(root, expr);
二、源码解读
flatten_join_alias_vars
/*
* flatten_join_alias_vars
* Replace Vars that reference JOIN outputs with references to the original
* relation variables instead. This allows quals involving such vars to be
* pushed down. Whole-row Vars that reference JOIN relations are expanded
* into RowExpr constructs that name the individual output Vars. This
* is necessary since we will not scan the JOIN as a base relation, which
* is the only way that the executor can directly handle whole-row Vars.
*
* This also adjusts relid sets found in some expression node types to
* substitute the contained base rels for any join relid.
*
* If a JOIN contains sub-selects that have been flattened, its join alias
* entries might now be arbitrary expressions, not just Vars. This affects
* this function in one important way: we might find ourselves inserting
* SubLink expressions into subqueries, and we must make sure that their
* Query.hasSubLinks fields get set to true if so. If there are any
* SubLinks in the join alias lists, the outer Query should already have
* hasSubLinks = true, so this is only relevant to un-flattened subqueries.
*
* NOTE: this is used on not-yet-planned expressions. We do not expect it
* to be applied directly to the whole Query, so if we see a Query to start
* with, we do want to increment sublevels_up (this occurs for LATERAL
* subqueries).

* mutator intends to descend into subqueries. It is also useful for
* descending into subqueries within a mutator.
*
* Some callers want to suppress mutating of certain items in the Query,
* typically because they need to process them specially, or don't actually
* want to recurse into subqueries. This is supported by the flags argument,
* which is the bitwise OR of flag values to suppress mutating of
* indicated items. (More flag bits may be added as needed.)

* Normally the Query node itself is copied, but some callers want it to be
* modified in-place; they must pass QTW_DONT_COPY_QUERY in flags. All
* modified substructure is safely copied in any case.

三、跟踪分析
在PG11中,没有进入"Expand join alias reference"的实现逻辑,猜测在上拉子查询的时候已作优化.
