I notice that there's some weird info coming out of the system columns on any FDW:
test=# select tableoid, ctid, xmin, xmax, cmin, cmax, * from dict limit 12; tableoid | ctid | xmin | xmax | cmin | cmax | words ----------+----------------+------+------------+-------+-------+----------- 16428 | (4294967295,0) | 104 | 4294967295 | 16430 | 16430 | A 16428 | (4294967295,0) | 104 | 4294967295 | 16430 | 16430 | a 16428 | (4294967295,0) | 108 | 4294967295 | 16430 | 16430 | aa 16428 | (4294967295,0) | 112 | 4294967295 | 16430 | 16430 | aal 16428 | (4294967295,0) | 120 | 4294967295 | 16430 | 16430 | aalii 16428 | (4294967295,0) | 112 | 4294967295 | 16430 | 16430 | aam 16428 | (4294967295,0) | 116 | 4294967295 | 16430 | 16430 | Aani 16428 | (4294967295,0) | 132 | 4294967295 | 16430 | 16430 | aardvark 16428 | (4294967295,0) | 132 | 4294967295 | 16430 | 16430 | aardwolf 16428 | (4294967295,0) | 120 | 4294967295 | 16430 | 16430 | Aaron 16428 | (4294967295,0) | 128 | 4294967295 | 16430 | 16430 | Aaronic 16428 | (4294967295,0) | 136 | 4294967295 | 16430 | 16430 | Aaronical (12 rows) That's file_fdw. On the not-yet-ready pgsql_fdw: test=# select tableoid, ctid, xmin, xmax, cmin, cmax from cows limit 5; tableoid | ctid | xmin | xmax | cmin | cmax ----------+----------------+------+------+------+------ 16406 | (4294967295,0) | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 16406 | (4294967295,0) | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 16406 | (4294967295,0) | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 16406 | (4294967295,0) | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 16406 | (4294967295,0) | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 (5 rows) So the ctid is always 2^32-1. Bit weird, but probably explainable. But xmin on the file_fdw result is odd.
