Currently, declared local variables are assumed to be static by analyser and hence it is replaced with const node by optimiser. Currently, the parameter value will be supplied through pltsql_param_fetch(..) which is setup during pltsql_estate_setup as part of ParamListInfo setup. This hook is purely used during planning phase and is not used during query execution.
If parameter value is required during execution then values will be read from estate->ndatums through pltsql_param_eval_var callback for EEOP_PARAM_CALLBACK step. This estate->ndatums setup during pltsql_estate_setup and values are copied through copy_pltsql_datums(…). And currently, any assignments to declare variables are implemented using "select target" which will be executed at the end of executor. Hence, any use of variables will read original (value copied during pltsql_estate_setup(...)) and it would not reflect any dynamic change in the value of any variable.
In order to make this behaviour dynamic, this commit introduces internal function sys.pltsql_assign_var(dno, expr). Argument dno is item number of declared variable and expr could be anything whose value will be assigned to declared variable pointed by dno during execution. We will use this function to rewrite any variables assignment operation during ANTLR parsing as stated in following example,
select @A = expr
Will be written to
select @A = sys.pltsql_assign_var(dno, expr)
Internally, sys.pltsql_assign_var invokes exec_assign_value(…) to assign appropriate value directly to variable by updating estate->ndatums array and hence any subsequent read will read latest value.
