* [PATCH v2] Avoid orphaned objects dependencies

From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2024-03-29 15:43 UTC (permalink / raw)

It's currently possible to create orphaned objects dependencies, for example:

Scenario 1:

session 1: begin; drop schema schem;
session 2: create a function in the schema schem
session 1: commit;

With the above, the function created in session 2 would be linked to a non
existing schema.

Scenario 2:

session 1: begin; create a function in the schema schem
session 2: drop schema schem;
session 1: commit;

With the above, the function created in session 1 would be linked to a non
existing schema.

To avoid those scenarios, a new lock (that conflicts with a lock taken by DROP)
has been put in place when the dependencies are being recorded. With this in
place, the drop schema in scenario 2 would be locked.

Also, after locking the object, the patch checks that the object still exists:
with this in place session 2 in scenario 1 would be locked and would report an
error once session 1 committs (that would not be the case should session 1 abort
the transaction).

The patch adds a few tests for some dependency cases (that would currently produce
orphaned objects):

- schema and function (as the above scenarios)
- function and type
- table and type
