Thanks, Attached version looks better.

I have missed it by confusing it with OID, as OID is set in COPY.
I think along with COPY, it needs to set in ATRewriteTable() as well,
because during rewrite also we check constraints.
I will send an updated patch after point-2 is concluded.

I have tried various combinations, it is giving error at my end.
postgres=# create table tbl_with_oid(c1 int) With OIDS;
CREATE TABLE
postgres=# alter table tbl_with_oid add check (oid < 16403);
ERROR: system column "oid" reference in check constraint is invalid
postgres=# alter table tbl_with_oid add check (oid =0);
ERROR: system column "oid" reference in check constraint is invalid
postgres=# alter table tbl_with_oid add check (oid::integer %2 =0);
ERROR: system column "oid" reference in check constraint is invalid
postgres=# create table foo (a int, check (oid::integer % 2 = 0)) with oids;
ERROR: system column "oid" reference in check constraint is invalid

Currently only tableOid is allowed, other system columns should error
out due to below check:
+ /* In constraint check, no system column is allowed except tableOid */
+ if (pstate->p_expr_kind == EXPR_KIND_CHECK_CONSTRAINT &&
+ attnum < InvalidAttrNumber && attnum != TableOidAttributeNumber)

It can be done for OID as well. I don't have any strong reason for
either doing or not doing it, if you think it can be of use then we
can add it.
