postgres_fdw imported generated columns from the remote tables as plain columns, and caused failures like "ERROR: cannot insert a non-DEFAULT value into column "foo"" when inserting into the foreign tables, as it tried to insert values into the generated columns. To fix, we do the following under the assumption that generated columns in a postgres_fdw foreign table are defined so that they represent generated columns in the underlying remote table: * Send DEFAULT for the generated columns to the foreign server on insert or update, not generated column values computed on the local server. * Add to postgresImportForeignSchema() an option "import_generated" to include column generated expressions in the definitions of foreign tables imported from a foreign server. The option is true by default. The assumption seems reasonable, because that would make a query of the postgres_fdw foreign table return values for the generated columns that are consistent with the generated expression. While here, fix another issue in postgresImportForeignSchema(): it tried to include column generated expressions as column default expressions in the foreign table definitions when the import_default option was enabled. Per bug #16631 from Daniel Cherniy. Back-patch to v12 where generated columns were added. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/16631-e929fe9db0ffc7cf%40postgresql.org
The PostgreSQL contrib tree
---------------------------
This subtree contains porting tools, analysis utilities, and plug-in
features that are not part of the core PostgreSQL system, mainly
because they address a limited audience or are too experimental to be
part of the main source tree. This does not preclude their
usefulness.
User documentation for each module appears in the main SGML
documentation.
When building from the source distribution, these modules are not
built automatically, unless you build the "world" target. You can
also build and install them all by running "make all" and "make
install" in this directory; or to build and install just one selected
module, do the same in that module's subdirectory.
Some directories supply new user-defined functions, operators, or
types. To make use of one of these modules, after you have installed
the code you need to register the new SQL objects in the database
system by executing a CREATE EXTENSION command. In a fresh database,
you can simply do
CREATE EXTENSION module_name;
See the PostgreSQL documentation for more information about this
procedure.
