Hello Alena, Andrei, and all,

Thank you for reviewing this patch. I really apologize for not

So, I rebased patches and resolved the conflicts. While I was doing this, I found a problem that I also fixed:

Thank you very much for rebasing these patches and fixing the issue.
The bug seemed to be caused because these indexes were in
RangeTblEntry, and the handling of their serialization was not
correct. Thank you for fixing it.

Thank you for sharing this information. I think the idea suggested by
Alexander Korotkov is also helpful for our patch. As mentioned above,
the indexes are in RangeTblEntry in the current implementation.
However, I think RangeTblEntry is not the best place to store them. An
'alias' relids may help solve this and simplify fixing the above bug.
I will try this approach soon.

Unfortunately, I've been busy due to work, so I won't be able to
respond for several weeks. I'm really sorry for not being able to see
the patches. As soon as I'm not busy, I will look at them, consider
the above approach, and reply to this thread. If there is no
objection, I will move this CF entry forward to next CF.

Again, thank you very much for looking at this thread, and I'm sorry
for my late work.
