At a quick glance, this patch seems to have an issue about priority. Which value is used if an option has been set both on a foreign table and a foreign server? Also I think documents and regression tests would be required for this kind of change. Regards, -- Shigeru Hanada

I believe that the finer-grained setting should always override the coarser, so in this case, the setting for the table should take precedence over the setting for the server. > Also I think documents and regression tests would be required for > this kind of change. +1 :) Cheers, David. -- David Fetter <david@fetter.org> http://fetter.org/ Phone: +1 415 235 3778 AIM: dfetter666 Yahoo!: dfetter Skype: davidfetter XMPP: david.fetter@gmail.com iCal: webcal://www.tripit.com/feed/ical/people/david74/tripit.ics Remember to vote!

The closest analog I can think of to a more conventional server is that the whole file system is the foreign server, and there just don't seem to be any relevant options at that level. All the options being supplied seem much saner left as just foreign table options. cheers andrew
Hi. Current behaviour is error message when foreign table and foreign server have the same option defined. I don't know how to write regression test, may i read about it somewhere? -- ------------ pasman

You raise an excellent point, which is that there probably should be options at that level which override the (settable) generic file_fdw options.
