You're missing at least the sublinks. Since you're looking at
AcquireRewriteLocks() as an example, look at how acquireLocksOnSubLinks() is
being called.
In general, if you're not sure of how some constructs are represented in a
Query the easiest way to get a good overview is to simply do something like
static void pgds_build_rel_array(Query *query)
{
[...]
elog(WARNING, "found %s", nodeToString(query));
You will get a textual representation of the query (or any specific node if
needed) in the client and server log, so you can easily look for a given relid,
Var or anything and identify what you were missing and adapt your walker
function.
