Seems like a pretty weak argument. It's not that we can't find strange corner cases where applying SET STORAGE to a foreign table doesn't do something; it's that they *are* strange corner cases. The options as we normally don't understand them just aren't sensible in this context, and a good deal of work has been put into an alternative options framework, which is what authors of FDWs ought to be using. -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list ([email protected]) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
