I guess was underthinking it. A quick test showed:
castaging=# explain analyze select count(*) from tblapt;
QUERY PLAN
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Aggregate (cost=220.92..220.93 rows=1 width=0) (actual
time=753.287..753.287 rows=1 loops=1)
-> Foreign Scan on tblapt (cost=100.00..212.39 rows=3413 width=0)
(actual time=1.753..748.887 rows=64284 loops=1)
Planning time: 0.063 ms
Execution time: 754.636 ms
(4 rows)
Time: 756.746 ms
castaging=# explain analyze select * from tblapt limit 1;
QUERY PLAN
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Limit (cost=100.00..100.26 rows=1 width=1839) (actual
time=15.504..15.504 rows=1 loops=1)
-> Foreign Scan on tblapt (cost=100.00..111.29 rows=43
width=1839) (actual time=15.503..15.503 rows=1 loops=1)
Planning time: 0.131 ms
Execution time: 16.615 ms
(4 rows)
Time: 18.619 ms
However, tailing the query log on the remote server, I see that it is
using DECLARE/FETCH and aborting in the limit case. So I was tricked
-- this isn't LIMIT pushdown.
