Hi,
I'm kicking the tires on the 9.3 postgres_fdw stuff - I'm not sure if this is an issue or intended behavior, but it was
prettyconfusing based on the error message that was output. If you try creating a foreign table with a reference to a
serialdata type, it comes back with a "referenced relation is not a table" error. If you change the data type in the
referencedtable to integer - then it works. Completely understand why this is needed - but it tripped me up for a
while. At the very least, can I suggest adding something in the documentation about serial columns (if it is not an
issue)?
test=# create table foo (id serial);
CREATE TABLE
test=# create foreign table local_foo (id serial) server test_server options (table_name 'foo');
ERROR: referenced relation "local_foo" is not a table
test=# create foreign table local_foo (id integer) server test_server options (table_name 'foo');
CREATE FOREIGN TABLE
