Suppose you create several file_fdw foreign tables, query them together, and read(2) returns EIO for one of the files:
[local] postgres=# SELECT * FROM ft0, ft1, ft2; ERROR: could not read from COPY file: Input/output error The message does not show which foreign table yielded the error. We could evade the problem in this case by adding a file name to the error message in the COPY code, but that strategy doesn't translate to twitter_fdw, firebird_fdw, etc. We need a convention for presenting foreign errors that clearly attributes them to the originating foreign table. What should it be? Perhaps something as simple as having the core foreign scan code push an error context callback that does errcontext("scan of foreign table \"%s\"", tabname)? Disclaimer: I have only skimmed SQL/MED patches other than copy_export.
