Hm. I agree that we shouldn't simply assume that ss_currentRelation
isn't null. However, we cannot make search_plan_tree() descend
through non-leaf CustomScan nodes, because we don't know what processing
is involved there. We need to find a scan that is guaranteed to return
rows that are one-to-one with the cursor output. This is why the function
doesn't descend through join or aggregation nodes, and I see no argument
by which we should assume we know more about what a customscan node will
do than we know about those.
So I'm inclined to think a suitable fix is just
- if (RelationGetRelid(sstate->ss_currentRelation) == table_oid)
+ if (sstate->ss_currentRelation &&
+ RelationGetRelid(sstate->ss_currentRelation) == table_oid)
result = sstate;
