In DoCopy, some RLS-specific code constructs a SelectStmt to handle
the case where COPY TO is invoked on an RLS-protected relation. But I
think this step is bogus in two ways:
/* Build FROM clause */
from = makeRangeVar(NULL, RelationGetRelationName(rel), 1);
First, because relations are schema objects, there could be multiple
relations with the same name. The RangeVar might end up referring to
a different one of those objects than the user originally specified.
That seems like it could be surprising at best and a security
vulnerability at worst. So at the very list I think this needs to
pass the schema name as well as the relation name. I'm not 100% sure
it's OK even then, because what about a concurrent rename of the
schema?
Second, the third argument to makeRangeVar is a parse location, and I
believe it it is conventional to use -1, rather than 1, when no
location can be identified.
