PostgreSQL源码解读（46）-查询语句#31（query_planner函数#7）
先前的章节已介绍了函数query_planner中子函数reconsider_outer_join_clauses和generate_base_implied_equalities的主要实现逻辑,本节继续介绍query_planner中qp_callback（回调函数）、fix_placeholder_input_needed_levels函数的实现逻辑。

PlaceHolderInfo
/*
* For each distinct placeholder expression generated during planning, we

* each PlaceHolderVar. Note that phid is unique throughout a planner run,
* not just within a query level --- this is so that we need not reassign ID's
* when pulling a subquery into its parent.
*
* The idea is to evaluate the expression at (only) the ph_eval_at join level,
* then allow it to bubble up like a Var until the ph_needed join level.
* ph_needed has the same definition as attr_needed for a regular Var.
*
* The PlaceHolderVar's expression might contain LATERAL references to vars
* coming from outside its syntactic scope. If so, those rels are *not*
* included in ph_eval_at, but they are recorded in ph_lateral.
*
* Notice that when ph_eval_at is a join rather than a single baserel, the
* PlaceHolderInfo may create constraints on join order: the ph_eval_at join
* has to be formed below any outer joins that should null the PlaceHolderVar.
*
* We create a PlaceHolderInfo only after determining that the PlaceHolderVar
* is actually referenced in the plan tree, so that unreferenced placeholders
* don't result in unnecessary constraints on join order.

考察下面的SQL语句:

from t_dwxx t1 left join (select a.dwbh,a.grbh,'TEST' as constant_field from t_grxx a) t2 on t1.dwbh = t2.dwbh
where t1.dwbh = '1001'
order by t1.dwbh;
QUERY PLAN
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nested Loop Left Join (cost=0.00..16.06 rows=2 width=108)
Output: t1.dwbh, a.grbh, ('TEST'::text) -- PlaceHolderVar
Join Filter: ((t1.dwbh)::text = (a.dwbh)::text)
-> Seq Scan on public.t_dwxx t1 (cost=0.00..1.04 rows=1 width=38)
Output: t1.dwmc, t1.dwbh, t1.dwdz
Filter: ((t1.dwbh)::text = '1001'::text)
-> Seq Scan on public.t_grxx a (cost=0.00..15.00 rows=2 width=108)
Output: a.grbh, a.dwbh, 'TEST'::text
Filter: ((a.dwbh)::text = '1001'::text)
(9 rows)
子查询上拉与t_dwxx进行连接,上拉过程中,不能简单的把子查询中的"'TEST' as constant_field"作为上层查询的Var来看待(如果不作特殊处理,跟外连接就不等价了,因为该值有可能是NULL),PG因此引入了PlaceHolderVar这么一个Var来对这种变量进行特殊处理.
