/*
 * Object access hooks are intended to be called just before or just after
 * performing certain actions on a SQL object.  This is intended as
 * infrastructure for security or logging plugins.
 *
 * OAT_POST_CREATE should be invoked just after the object is created.
 * Typically, this is done after inserting the primary catalog records and
 * associated dependencies.
 *
 * OAT_DROP should be invoked just before deletion of objects; typically
 * deleteOneObject(). Its arguments are packed within ObjectAccessDrop.
 *
 * OAT_POST_ALTER should be invoked just after the object is altered,
 * but before the command counter is incremented.  An extension using the
 * hook can use a current MVCC snapshot to get the old version of the tuple,
 * and can use SnapshotSelf to get the new version of the tuple.
 *
 * OAT_NAMESPACE_SEARCH should be invoked prior to object name lookup under
 * a particular namespace. This event is equivalent to usage permission
 * on a schema under the default access control mechanism.
 *
 * OAT_FUNCTION_EXECUTE should be invoked prior to function execution.
 * This event is almost equivalent to execute permission on functions,
 * except for the case when execute permission is checked during object
 * creation or altering, because OAT_POST_CREATE or OAT_POST_ALTER are
 * sufficient for extensions to track these kind of checks.
 *
 * Other types may be added in the future.
