Hi all,

I'm currently playing a few ideas out in my head and wanted to see if this was feasible. There may be some limitation I am not aware of.

I would like to create a foreign table into a hot standby instance using FDW's.  I appreciate that the hot standby is always going to be read-only, and that foreign tables are currently read-only anyway.

Can anyone tell me if there is any reason this wouldn't work?

I'm unable to test it just yet as I've not setup replication, nor am I on a recent enough postgres. yet. ;-)


While I'm at it, is there any facility (future?) to provide a foreign schema variant - such that I could access an entire schema using FDW's?

Cheers,

Tim
