/* we want SessionVariableCreatePostprocess to see the catalog changes. */
0001 doesn't have SessionVariableCreatePostprocess,
so this comment is wrong in the context of 0001.

typo:
As above, but if the variable isn't found and is_mussing is not NULL
is_mussing should be is_missing.

issue with  grant.sgml and revoke.sgml.

* there are no regress tests for WITH GRANT OPTION but it seems to work;
there are no REVOKE CASCADE tests. the following tests show
REVOKE CASCADE works.

create variable v1 as int;
GRANT select on VARIABLE v1 to alice with grant option;
set session authorization alice;
GRANT select on VARIABLE v1 to bob with grant option;
reset session authorization;

select varacl from pg_variable where varname  = 'v1';
--output
{jian=rw/jian,alice=r*/jian,bob=r*/alice}
revoke all privileges on variable v1 from alice cascade;
select varacl from pg_variable where varname  = 'v1';
--output
 {jian=rw/jian}

revoke GRANT OPTION FOR all privileges on variable v1 from alice cascade;
also works.

* in revoke.sgml and grant.sgml.
if you look closely, " | ALL VARIABLES IN SCHEMA schema_name [, ...] }" is wrong
because there is no left-curly-bracket, but there is a right-curly-bracket.

* in revoke.sgml.
<phrase>where <replaceable
class="parameter">role_specification</replaceable> can be:</phrase>
    [ GROUP ] <replaceable class="parameter">role_name</replaceable>
  | PUBLIC
  | CURRENT_ROLE
  | CURRENT_USER
  | SESSION_USER
should be at the end of the synopsis section?
otherwise it looks weird, maybe we can put the REVOKE VARIABLE code upper.
grant.sgml changes position looks fine to me.

*  <para>
   The <command>GRANT</command> command has two basic variants: one
   that grants privileges on a database object (table, column, view,
   foreign table, sequence, database, foreign-data wrapper, foreign server,
   function, procedure, procedural language, large object, configuration
   parameter, schema, tablespace, or type), and one that grants
   membership in a role.  These variants are similar in many ways, but
   they are different enough to be described separately.
  </para>
this <para> in grant.sgml needs to also mention "variable"?

*   <para>
    Privileges on databases, tablespaces, schemas, languages, and
    configuration parameters are
    <productname>PostgreSQL</productname> extensions.
   </para>
this <para> in grant.sgml needs to also mention "variable"?

----------------------------------------------
*
+   <para>
+    Inside a query or an expression, a session variable can be
+    <quote>shadowed</quote> by a column with the same name.  Similarly, the
+    name of a function or procedure argument or a PL/pgSQL variable (see
PL/pgSQL should decorated as <application>PL/pgSQL</application>

* in doc/src/sgml/ddl.sgml
<table id="privilege-abbrevs-table"> and <table
id="privileges-summary-table"> need to change for variable?
<varlistentry id="ddl-priv-select">, <varlistentry
id="ddl-priv-update"> need to change for variable?

it's kind of tricky. if we only apply
v20241208-0001-Enhancing-catalog-for-support-session-variables-and-.patch
we can not  SELECT or  UPDATE variable.
so how are we going to mention these privileges for variable?

 * we can add some tests for EVENT TRIGGER test,
since event trigger support CREATE|DROP variable. atually, I think
there is a bug.

create variable v1 as int;
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION event_trigger_report_dropped()
RETURNS event_trigger
LANGUAGE plpgsql
AS $$
DECLARE r record;
BEGIN
FOR r IN SELECT * from pg_event_trigger_dropped_objects()
LOOP
IF NOT r.normal AND NOT r.original THEN
    CONTINUE;
END IF;
RAISE NOTICE 'NORMAL: orig=% normal=% istemp=% type=% identity=% name=% args=%',
    r.original, r.normal, r.is_temporary, r.object_type,
    r.object_identity, r.address_names, r.address_args;
END LOOP;
END; $$;

CREATE EVENT TRIGGER regress_event_trigger_report_dropped ON sql_drop
WHEN TAG IN ('DROP VARIABLE')
EXECUTE PROCEDURE event_trigger_report_dropped();

--output:
src9=# drop variable v1;
NOTICE:  test_event_trigger: ddl_command_start DROP VARIABLE
NOTICE:  NORMAL: orig=t normal=f istemp=f type=session variable
identity=public.v1 name={public,$} args={}
DROP VARIABLE

should i expect
NOTICE:  NORMAL: orig=t normal=f istemp=f type=session variable
identity=public.v1 name={public,$} args={}
to be
NOTICE:  NORMAL: orig=t normal=f istemp=f type=session variable
identity=public.v1 name={public,v1} args={}
?
