Re: BUG #17395: Assert failed on merge join when foreign range partition contains out-of-range value - Mailing list pgsql-bugs

Hm.  I suppose we have to reduce that assert to an actual runtime
test.  More generally, though, it seems like the documentation is
not nearly clear enough that it's on the user's head to make sure
that a foreign partition's contents meet the partition constraint.
Sec. 5.11.2 punts the matter to the CREATE FOREIGN TABLE man page,
which is okay, but CREATE FOREIGN TABLE doesn't lay it out with
any degree of clarity either.
