Here's a draft patch for this. I've only addressed the RLS use-case so far, so this doesn't get into managing the order of application of join quals, only restriction quals. >> 2.

Hm, but it would also force leakproof quals to be evaluated in front of potentially-cheaper leaky quals, whether or not that's semantically necessary. I experimented with ignoring security_level altogether for leakproof quals, but I couldn't make it work properly, because that didn't lead to a comparison rule that satisfies transitivity. For instance, consider three quals: A: cost 1, security_level 1, leaky B: cost 2, security_level 1, leakproof C: cost 3, security_level 0, leakproof A should sort before B, since same security_level and lower cost; B should sort before C, since lower cost and leakproof; but A must sort after C, since higher security_level and leaky. So what I ended up doing was using your idea of forcing the security level to 0 for leakproof quals, but only if they have cost below a threshold (which I set at 10X cpu_operator_cost, which should take in most built-in functions). That at least limits the possible damage from forcing early evaluation of a leakproof qual. There may be some better way to do it, though, so I didn't go so far as to remove the separate leakproof flag. Some other notes: * This creates a requirement on scan-planning code (and someday on join-planning code) to be sure it doesn't create violations of the qual ordering rule. Currently only indxpath.c and tidpath.c have to worry about that AFAICS. FDWs would need to worry about it too, except that we don't currently allow RLS to be enabled on foreign tables. I'm a little concerned about whether FDWs could create security holes by not accounting for this, but it's moot for now. Custom scan providers will need to pay attention as well. * prepsecurity.c is now dead code and should be removed, but I did not include that in this patch, since it would just bloat the patch. * Accounting for the removal of prepsecurity.c, this is actually a net savings of about 300 lines of code. So I feel pretty good about that. It also gets rid of some really messy kluges, particularly the behavior of generating new subquery RTEs as late as halfway through grouping_planner. I find it astonishing that that worked at all. * Since the planner is now depending on Query.hasRowSecurity to be set whenever there are any securityQuals, I put in an Assert about that, and promptly found three places in prepjointree.c and the rewriter where we'd been failing to set it. I have not looked to see if these represent live bugs in existing releases, but they might. Or am I misunderstanding what the flag is supposed to mean? * Aside from plan changes, there's one actual behavioral change in the regression test results, but I think it's okay because it's a question of whether to put a non-RLS qual before or after a leaky qual. That's not something we are promising anything about. * There's one test query in updatable_views.sql where the plan collapses to a dummy (Result with constant false qual) because the planner is now able to see that the qual conditions are mutually contradictory. Maybe that query needs adjustment; I'm not sure what it's intending to test exactly. regards, tom lane PS: I've been slacking on the commitfest because I wanted to push this to a reasonably finished state before I set it aside to do CF work. I'm not expecting it to be reviewed in this fest.
