I'm working on a foreign data wrapper and I want to switch based on the
column type. Specifically, if the column type in the external table is the
same as in the (locally defined) foreign table then I can get some speedup
for some types.
Through the ForeignScanState object I can get TupleDesc and

Those are more complicated, and it's not obvious to me how to use them. I
really think that all I need is something as simple as "if (my_oid ==
INT4OID) {...}". Is there any reason why I shouldn't just do that?

Well, it's a few types, but the logic is different for each one, so they

I'd like to propose a carray_to_bytea function, similar to
cstring_to_text_with_len, declared in src/include/utils.h and implemented
in src/backend/utils/adt/varlena.c. The implementation would be the same
as cstring_to_text_with_len, but with a different return type.
I have put the implementatio
