Better example of the problem... My FDW table schema is:

CREATE FOREIGN TABLE liquorstore_backendipaddress (
     id bigint NOT NULL,
     backend_network_id bigint,
     backend_virtual_interface_id bigint,
     address character varying(15) NOT NULL,
     is_gateway boolean NOT NULL,
     is_reserved boolean NOT NULL
)
SERVER edison
OPTIONS (
     dbname 'edison',
     table_name 'liquorstore_backendvirtualinterface'
);


But when I run the following query:

SELECT
     *
FROM liquorstore_backendipaddress

I get an error:

ccedison=# SELECT * FROM liquorstore_backendipaddress;
ERROR:  failed to prepare the MySQL query:
Unknown column 'backend_network_id' in 'field list'

So is 'backend_network_id' in the MySQL table?

I still cannot figure out what the problem might be so any help would be
GREATLY appreciated.

Thanks,

Deven
