Hello Tom,
I've noticed something that may be a factor on this problem.
In the automated script, 5 or 6 seconds before this query happens, the
foreign table is created.
If I create the foreign table manually and skip its creation in the
automated script, and then I run the automated script,
the query takes 5-6 seconds to be executed instead of 2 hours.
Hope this info is helpful to dig further.
Thanks,
Eudald
