Is there some setting to make it realize the cast is shippable? AFAICS, postgres_fdw doesn't have any knowledge of CoerceViaIO parse nodes, so it's never going to consider this type of brute-force cast as shippable. Normal casts would presumably be shippable if the underlying function is considered safe. Looks like a round-tuit-shortage issue rather than anything fundamental. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-performance mailing list (pgsql-performance@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-performance
