Description:
CREATE FOREIGN TABLE test_file_fdw_program_limit
(
message text
)
SERVER pg_log_fdw OPTIONS (program 'echo "test"', format 'csv')
;
--
SELECT * FROM test_file_fdw_program_limit;
/*
OK
*/
SELECT * FROM test_file_fdw_program_limit LIMIT 2;
/*
OK
*/
SELECT * FROM test_file_fdw_program_limit LIMIT 0;
/*
[38000] ERROR: program "echo "test"" failed Detail: child process exited
with exit code 1
*/

LIMIT 0 is the easiest way we found to reproduce the error, but we
encountered same issue with LIMIT (< file lines) on a program doing an if
exists + file output stream manipulation.
