 we can add a postgresAddForeignUpdateTargets(postgres_fdw) equivalent
 function for file_fdw even though we do not support UPDATE/DELETE in file_fdw.
After applying your patch,  I got a different output if I enable verbose in EXPLAIN:
postgres=# EXPLAIN verbose DELETE FROM pt WHERE false;
                      QUERY PLAN                       
-------------------------------------------------------
 Delete on 
public.pt  (cost=0.00..0.00 rows=0 width=0)
   ->  Result  (cost=0.00..0.00 rows=0 width=0)
         Output: ctid
         Replaces: Scan on pt
         One-Time Filter: false
(5 rows)
postgres=# set enable_partition_pruning = 'off';
SET
postgres=# EXPLAIN verbose DELETE FROM pt WHERE false;
                      QUERY PLAN                       
-------------------------------------------------------
 Delete on 
public.pt  (cost=0.00..0.00 rows=0 width=0)
   ->  Result  (cost=0.00..0.00 rows=0 width=0)
         Output: NULL::oid, NULL::tid
         Replaces: Scan on pt
         One-Time Filter: false
(5 rows)
 Output: ctid (enable_partition_pruning = on)
vs 
Output: NULL::oid, NULL::tid(enable_partition_pruning = off)
I try add childrte->relkind != RELKIND_PARTITIONED_TABLE && childrte->relkind != RELKIND_FOREIGN_TABLE)
to avoid adding "tableoid" for foreign table in expand_single_inheritance_child().
It works, but the file_fdw regression test failed.
I added Tom and Amit to the cc list.
Any thoughts?
