Re: New hook after raw parsing, before analyze

See the discussion of Custom-Scan API.

I believe my third patch is what you really want to do...

I'd like to see why you wants the pseudo table "fdw_tableA_tableB" to
be in the catalog,
instead of the "tableA" and "tableB". In addition, parser shall raise
an error if referenced
columns (as a part of "tableA" or "tableB") are not in-catalog because
of name lookup
error.

Thanks,
