postgres_fdw tended to say "unknown error" if it tried to execute a command on an already-dead connection, because some paths in libpq just return a null PGresult for such cases. Out-of-memory might result in that, too. To fix, pass the PGconn to pgfdw_report_error, and look at its PQerrorMessage() string if we can't get anything out of the PGresult. Also, fix the transaction-exit logic to reliably drop a dead connection. It was attempting to do that already, but it assumed that only connection cache entries with xact_depth > 0 needed to be examined. The folly in that is that if we fail while issuing START TRANSACTION, we'll not have bumped xact_depth. (At least for the case I was testing, this fix masks the other problem; but it still seems like a good idea to have the PGconn fallback logic.) Per investigation of bug #9087 from Craig Lucas. Backpatch to 9.3 where this code was introduced.
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 "gmake all" and "gmake
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.
