Do you think which one should set values for these as well as tableoids, postgres_fdw or core?
Earlier in this mail chain, I suggested that the core should take care of storing the values for these columns. But instead, I think, core should provide functions which can be used by FDWs, if they want, to return values for those columns. Something like Datum get_syscol_value(RelOptInfo/Relation, attno). The function will return Datum 0 for most of the columns and table's OID for tableoid. My 0.02.
What I had in mind was (1) create_foreignscan_plan would create Lists from the ForeignScan's fdw_scan_tlist: (a) indexes/OID values of tableoids in fdw_scan_tlist, and (b) indexes of xids and cids in fdw_scan_tlist, and then (2) ForeignNext would set the OID values for the tableoid columns in the scan tuple, using the Lists (a), and appropriate values (0 or something) for the xid and cid columns in the scan tuple, using the List (b).
