Concurrent DDL can leave behind objects referencing other objects that no longer exist. This can happen if an object is dropped, while a new object that depends on it is created concurrently. For example: session 1: BEGIN; CREATE FUNCTION myschema.myfunc() ...; session 2: DROP SCHEMA myschema; session 1: COMMIT; DROP SCHEMA does check that there are no objects dependending on the schema being dropped, but it does not see objects being concurrently created by other sessions. Even if it did, this scenario would still fail: session 1: BEGIN: DROP SCHEMA myschema; session 2: CREATE FUNCTION myschema.myfunc() ...; session 1: COMMIT; When the DROP SCHEMA runs, the schema was empty, but the new function is created in it before the dropping transaction completes. The CREATE FUNCTION does not see that the schema is concurrently being dropped. In both of these scenarios, the function is left behind in the schema that no longer exists. To fix, acquire AccessShareLock on all referenced objects when recording dependencies. This conflicts with the AccessExclusiveLock taken by DROP, preventing the race. After acquiring the lock, verify that the object still exists, and if it was dropped concurrently, report an error. We already had such a mechanism for shared dependencies, but for some reason we didn't do it for in-database dependendies. Ideally the locks would be acquired much earlier when creating a new object, but that will require modifying a lot of callers. This check while recording the dependency is a nice wholesale protection, and even if we change all the CREATE commands to acquire locks earlier, it's still good to have this as a backstop to catch any cases where we forgot to do so. The patch adds a few tests for some cases that left behind orphaned objects before this. It also adds a test for roles, which already had such protection, although that test is partially disabled because the error message includes an OID which is not predictable.
