Thanks for the information. I am currently federating using database
connections only (PostgreSQL). The table in question is not empty and I
double-checked the password. The filter is of type "singleselect". So
conditions seem OK, but after nearly 1 hour, nothing happened and the table
is reasonably small.

When I checked the log, I found this error in particular:
org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: ERROR: relation "*genemodelfeature*"
does not exist
  [...]

The table in question should be *G*ene*M*odel*F*eature. So I believe
the table/schema
names in the underlying SQL query are not properly quoted, which causes the
function to break when case-sensitive table names are imported from
PostgreSQL. I remember I had similar problems when I tried to create data
sources bases on tables in a case-sensitive psql schema.

Best,
Thomas
