DDL against the spock and snowflake schemas used to half-apply: the command text replicated to peers while the relation was silently kept out of every replication set. Refuse it outright while DDL replication is on, with spock.enable_ddl_replication = off as the escape hatch. Operator-reserved schemas and the node-local pgedge_ace class are unaffected.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

AutoDDL now rejects direct DDL against built-in spock and snowflake schemas when DDL replication is enabled. The change adds reserved-schema matching, integrates the guard before replication queuing, adds TAP coverage, and documents upgrade behavior and the session-level override.

Changes

Reserved-schema DDL protection

Layer / File(s) Summary
Reservation matching and DDL classification
include/spock_node.h, include/spock.h, src/spock_node.c, src/spock_functions.c
Adds RESERVED_PURPOSE_EXTENSION_OWNED. Generalizes schema and statement matching across supported DDL forms and multi-object DROP statements.
DDL guard integration
src/spock_functions.c, src/spock_autoddl.c
Adds spock_guard_extension_owned_ddl. The guard reports the matched schema, provides the session override, and runs before DDL replication queuing.
Validation and upgrade guidance
tests/tap/t/037_reserved_schema_ddl_guard.pl, tests/tap/schedule, docs/spock_release_notes.md
Tests rejection, rollback, overrides, unaffected schemas, and replication-set membership. Release notes document the compatibility requirement.

Poem

A rabbit guards the schema gate,
Snowflake waits; Spock seals its fate.
With one session switch, work may flow,
While tests confirm what users know.
The burrow cheers: no stray DDL goes slow!

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to ff437

The new DDL protection can still crash on some DROP SCHEMA commands and allow other extension-owned schema changes to replicate, so the PR is not ready to merge until those bypasses are fixed.

2630-2731: 🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Block every extension-owned DDL target.

stmt_schema_matches returns false for unlisted utility nodes. For example, T_CreateFunctionStmt for CREATE FUNCTION snowflake.f() reaches the default branch, and spock_auto_replicate_ddl then queues the command.

An unqualified DROP TABLE also bypasses the guard. After execution, relation_openrv_extended() cannot resolve the removed relation, so DROP TABLE guard_seed with search_path = snowflake is replicated.

Resolve and retain target schemas before execution, or extend the hook contract to provide pre-execution target data. Add coverage for every AutoDDL statement that can name a schema.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Extract the schema name from the DROP name list.

drop->objects contains name lists. The non-schema branch already casts lfirst(cell) to List *, but the OBJECT_SCHEMA branch passes that list to strVal(). DROP SCHEMA snowflake can therefore compare an invalid pointer or crash instead of matching snowflake.

Proposed fix
 foreach(cell, drop->objects)
 {
+    List       *object = lfirst_node(List, cell);
     const char *schema = (drop->removeType == OBJECT_SCHEMA)
-        ? strVal(lfirst(cell))
-        : makeRangeVarFromNameList((List *) lfirst(cell))->schemaname;
+        ? strVal(linitial(object))
+        : makeRangeVarFromNameList(object)->schemaname;

Can you help me understand why checking builtin is important here? Could we instead just check the other two? What is the difference between a built-in or non built-in with the other flag values? Might a user want a non-built-in to behave the same way?
