We're building command trigger on top of the existing code. From the
grammar we can see that an alter table and an alter foreign table are
processed as the same command.

AlterForeignTableStmt:
    ALTER FOREIGN TABLE relation_expr alter_table_cmds
        {
        AlterTableStmt *n = makeNode(AlterTableStmt);

So while I think we could want to revisit that choice down the road, I
don't think that's for the command triggers patch to do it.

That's now fixed. I've checked that all the other places where we're
saying objectId = InvalidOid are related to before create or after drop
commands.

I couldn't reproduce, but I've spotted the problem in the source, and
fixed it. I could find a couple other places that should have been using
pstrdup(NameStr(…)) too, and fixed them. I added a test.

Can't reproduce, and that's already part of the regression tests.

Oh, both RULE and TRIGGER are not qualified, and I was filling the
schemaname with the schema of the relation they refer to in the CREATE
command, and had DROP correctly handling the TRIGGER case.

That's now fixed, schemaname is NULL in all cases here.

You can read the changes here:

And I've been attaching an incremental patch too. Next patch revision is
expected later today with support for plpython, plperl and pltcl.
