Hi, I'm kicking the tires on the 9.3 postgres_fdw stuff - I'm not sure if this is an issue or intended behavior, but it was pretty confusing based on the error message that was output. If you try creating a foreign table with a reference to a serial data type, it comes back with a "referenced relation is not a table" error. If you change the data type in the referenced table to integer - then it works. Completely understand why this is needed - but it tripped me up for a while. At the very least, can I suggest adding something in the documentation about serial columns (if it is not an issue)?
test=# create table foo (id serial); CREATE TABLE test=# create foreign table local_foo (id serial) server test_server options (table_name 'foo'); ERROR: referenced relation "local_foo" is not a table test=# create foreign table local_foo (id integer) server test_server options (table_name 'foo'); CREATE FOREIGN TABLE Brad -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
