Well the code footprint is quite small already. When the grammar change
and the alter.c addition is in, it boils down to:
/** ALTER OBJECT SET EXTENSION** This form allows for upgrading from previous PostgreSQL version to one* supporting
extensions,or to upgrade user objects to get to use the* extension infrastructure.** All we have to do is record an
INTERNALdependency between the selected* object and the extension, which must of course already exist.*/
void
AlterObjectExtension(const char *extname, Oid classId, Oid objectId, Oid objectSubId)
{ObjectAddress *extension, *object;
if (!superuser()) ereport(ERROR, (errcode(ERRCODE_INSUFFICIENT_PRIVILEGE), (errmsg("must be
superuserto SET EXTENSION"))));
extension = (ObjectAddress *)palloc(sizeof(ObjectAddress));extension->classId = ExtensionRelationId;extension->objectId
=get_extension_oid(extname, false);extension->objectSubId = 0;
object = (ObjectAddress *)palloc(sizeof(ObjectAddress));object->classId = classId;object->objectId =
objectId;object->objectSubId= objectSubId;
recordDependencyOn(object, extension, DEPENDENCY_INTERNAL);
return;
}
Of course it needs some changes now, but well… I guess you'll be done
with that before I get to rebase my patch, I can only target tomorrow
now.
