sorry for the noise, i've figured out why.

sorry for the noise, i've figured out why.

there are 12 appearances of "NESTED PATH" in  sqljson_jsontable.sql.
but we don't have a real example of  NESTED PATH nested with NESTED PATH.
so I added some real tests on it.
i also added some tests about the PASSING clause.
please check the attachment.


/*
 * JsonTableInitPlan
 * Initialize information for evaluating a jsonpath given in
 * JsonTablePlan
 */
static void
JsonTableInitPathScan(JsonTableExecContext *cxt,
  JsonTablePlanState *planstate,
  List *args, MemoryContext mcxt)
{
JsonTablePlan *plan = (JsonTablePlan *) planstate->plan;
int i;

planstate->path = DatumGetJsonPathP(plan->path->value->constvalue);
planstate->args = args;
planstate->mcxt = AllocSetContextCreate(mcxt, "JsonTableExecContext",
ALLOCSET_DEFAULT_SIZES);

/* No row pattern evaluated yet. */
planstate->currentRow = PointerGetDatum(NULL);
planstate->currentRowIsNull = true;

for (i = plan->colMin; i <= plan->colMax; i++)
cxt->colexprplans[i] = planstate;
}

JsonTableInitPathScan's work is to init/assign struct
JsonTablePlanState's elements.
maybe we should just put JsonTableInitPathScan's work into JsonTableInitPlan
and also rename JsonTableInitPlan to "JsonTableInitPlanState" or
"InitJsonTablePlanState".



JsonTableSiblingJoin *join = (JsonTableSiblingJoin *) plan;
just rename the variable name, seems unnecessary?
