Re: postgres_fdw error

Thanks Korry, how would I check the search_path that is being used by the FDW user?

On the remote( source ):
piction_ro@bampfa_domain_bampfa> show search_path;
  search_path
----------------
 "$user",public

on the target:

piction@piction_transit> show search_path
piction_transit-> ;
  search_path
----------------
 "$user",public
(1 row)


I was able to create a test view that selects from the table in the error message ( collectionobjects_common )
and that works with no explict setting of search path. I suspect it has something to do with the function that is called in the original view.

On source ( remote ):
create or replace view piction.test_v as
SELECT
c.id,
c.physicaldescription
from
collectionobjects_common c
limit 10
;
alter view piction.test_v owner to piction;

grant select on piction.test_v to piction_ro;

On target:

\c piction_transit
create foreign table piction.test_fv
(
 id                   character varying(36),
 physicaldescription  text
)
server bampfa_dev_server
options ( schema_name 'piction', table_name 'test_v');
alter foreign table piction.test_fv owner to piction;

piction@piction_transit> select * from test_fv limit 4;
                  id                  |                       physicaldescriptio

Are all references schema-qualified?

If not, have you checked the search_path used when the FDW connects to the remote server?

I am struggling with a FDW between two 9.4.3 postgres databases.
I am refering to the remote db as the source and the db with the fdw as the target.

The connected user has the ability to query the source table on the source db successfully so I am assuming all the required grants are there.

When querying from the target system, I get a "relation does not exist" error.
The hitch is that the source table is actually a view that calls other views, which in turn contain functions. When I used a basic table on the target the fdw worked without error.


config:

source:
select current_user;
 current_user
--------------
 piction_ro
(1 row)

piction_ro@bampfa_domain_bampfa> select count(*) from piction.bampfa_metadata_v;
 count
-------
 21309
(1 row)

target:

PL/pgSQL function utils.concat_artists(character varying) line 7 at SQL statement

But if we are on the source as the mapped user, we can select from the table in question:

piction_ro@bampfa_domain_bampfa> select * from collectionobjects_common limit 2;
-[ RECORD 1 ]------------------+-------------------------------------------------

assoceventnametype             |
ownershipcategory              |
fieldcollectionnote            |
ownershipplace                 |
...

We can also execute the function in the source view:

piction_ro@bampfa_domain_bampfa> select utils.concat_artists('foo');
-[ RECORD 1 ]--+-
concat_artists |


\df+ utils.concat_artists

Any help would be much appreciated, I am thinking it could have something to do with the complexity of the base view, or perhaps fdw gets confused if the source is a view and not an actual table, but I would think the query should act just as the mapped user on the source system.
