Thanks for updating the patch. Here are some comments.

0001 patch
-----
1.
+        colname = get_attname(ownerId, depform->refobjsubid, false);
+        if (colname == NULL)
+            continue;

missing_ok is false when calling get_attname(), so is there any case that
colname is NULL?

2.
+            case AT_SetStatistics:
+                {
+                    Assert(IsA(subcmd->def, Integer));
+                    if (subcmd->name)
+                        tmp_obj = new_objtree_VA("ALTER COLUMN %{column}I SET STATISTICS %{statistics}n", 3,
+                                                "type", ObjTypeString, "set statistics",
+                                                "column", ObjTypeString, subcmd->name,
+                                                "statistics", ObjTypeInteger,
+                                                intVal((Integer *) subcmd->def));
+                    else
+                        tmp_obj = new_objtree_VA("ALTER COLUMN %{column}n SET STATISTICS %{statistics}n", 3,
+                                                "type", ObjTypeString, "set statistics",
+                                                "column", ObjTypeInteger, subcmd->num,
+                                                "statistics", ObjTypeInteger,
+                                                intVal((Integer *) subcmd->def));
+                    subcmds = lappend(subcmds, new_object_object(tmp_obj));
+                }
+                break;

I think subcmd->name will be NULL only if relation type is index. So should it
be removed because currently only table commands are supported?

0002 patch

3.
+                    /* Skip adding constraint for inherits table sub command */
+                    if (!constrOid)
+                        continue;

Would it be better to use OidIsValid() here?

0008 patch
-----
4.
            case AT_AddColumn:
                 /* XXX need to set the "recurse" bit somewhere? */
                 Assert(IsA(subcmd->def, ColumnDef));
-                tree = deparse_ColumnDef(rel, dpcontext, false,
-                                         (ColumnDef *) subcmd->def, true, &expr);
 
                 mark_function_volatile(context, expr);

After this change, `expr` is not assigned a value when mark_function_volatile is called.

Some problems I saw :
-----
5.
create table p1(f1 int);
create table p1_c1() inherits(p1);
alter table p1 add constraint inh_check_constraint1 check (f1 > 0);
alter table p1_c1 add constraint inh_check_constraint1 check (f1 > 0);

The re-formed command of the last command is "ALTER TABLE  public.p1_c1", which
seems to be wrong.

6.
SET allow_in_place_tablespaces = true;
CREATE TABLESPACE ddl_tblspace LOCATION '';
RESET allow_in_place_tablespaces;
CREATE TABLE tbl_index_tblspe (a int, PRIMARY KEY(a) USING INDEX TABLESPACE ddl_tblspace) ;

The re-formed command of the last command seems incorrect:
CREATE  TABLE  public.tbl_index_tblspe (a pg_catalog.int4 STORAGE PLAIN      , USING INDEX TABLESPACE ddl_tblspace)

7.
CREATE TABLE part2_with_multiple_storage_params(
    id int,
    name varchar
) WITH (autovacuum_enabled);

re-formed command: CREATE  TABLE  public.part2_with_multiple_storage_params (id pg_catalog.int4 STORAGE PLAIN      ,
namepg_catalog."varchar" STORAGE EXTENDED  COLLATE pg_catalog."default"    )    WITH (vacuum_index_cleanup = 'on',
autovacuum_vacuum_scale_factor= '0.2', vacuum_truncate = 'true', autovacuum_enabled = 'TRUE')
 

When the option is not specified, re-formed command used uppercase letters. The
reloptions column in pg_class of the original command is 
"{autovacuum_enabled=true}", but that of the re-formed command is
"{autovacuum_enabled=TRUE}". I tried to add this case to
test_ddl_deparse_regress test module but the test failed because the dumped
results are different.
