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.

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.

I'm not even sure I understand why we should want this anyway. 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.

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?

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

Cheers,
David.

That's not my point at all.
