Hi,

status of the patch is that it's working fine / as expected.

As is the regression test, my only concern there is if it's testing the functionality thoroughly enough. But at it's current state I suppose it's in line with the rest of the regression tests for dblink functionality.

Also, please advice if I'm expected to take any additional actions as part of submitting this patch.

Best regards,

Marcus Kempe
