SE-PostgreSQL does not touch the planner, but it modifies given query
to filter violated tuples for the current user.
Thus, the above query is dealt as if the following query is inputed.
SELECT '' AS "xxx", *
FROM J1_TBL t1 (a, b, c) NATURAL JOIN J2_TBL t2 (d, a)
ON sepgsql_tuple_perms(t1.security_context, SEPGSQL_PERMS_SELECT, ...)
and sepgsql_tuple_perms(t2.security_context, SEPGSQL_PERMS_SELECT, ...);
sepgsql_tuple_perms() returns true, if the security policy allows user
to access a given tuple. It returns false, if not so.
The result of EXPLAIN shows it more clearly:
| kaigai=# EXPLAIN SELECT '' AS "xxx", * FROM J1_TBL t1 (a, b, c) NATURAL JOIN J2_TBL t2 (d, a);

Yes, security_label type should not have an array type.
It is defined with typelem=0 and typarray=0.
The purpose of this type is to represent the new system column of
security attribute ("security_context" column).
So, I think it is a case that a new expented output should be modified.
