Stephen, I started looking at the code.
And I have the queries from \set SHOW_HIDDEN
that psql uses. And also the pg_dump output.
My first table was an ID bigint NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY GENERATED ALWAYS AS
IDENTITY
pg_dump puts the decorations on the SEQUENCE
\dt puts that text as the "Default" value
But the STRANGE part for me is the query I Assembled from the FDW returns
nothing for extra attributes.
And only seems to care about the "GENERATED AS (%s) STORED" syntax.
For me, generating the INLINE syntax will produce the SEQUENCE
automatically, so this is my preference.
Let me know if I am missing anything... Please.
Finally, I cannot GRASP this additional syntax:
appendStringInfo(&buf, "\n) SERVER %s\nOPTIONS (",
This is at the end of the create table syntax:
CREATE TABLE %s ( ... ) SERVER %s\n OPTIONS (" ...");
Is this special "FDW" Decorations because I don't see those on the create
table documentation?
It's easy enough to ignore, but I don't want to miss something.
