List *valuesLists; /* untransformed list of _expression_ lists */I need to understand what this is used for?
That's a fairly broad question...does this help?
In the SQL command:
VALUES ('one', 'two', 1+2, DEFAULT)
The valuesLists List will effectively contain three elements, {'one'}, {'two'}, {1+2}, and {DEFAULT}.
Though if it contains DEFAULT and the VALUES is not part of an INSERT an error should eventually occur during parse analysis since a plain VALUES command has no context from which to retrieve a default.
