Well, it's a pretty obvious global-search-and-replace error, but I fail
to see the advantage of just deleting the hint. I was thinking
- errhint("Use ALTER FOREIGN TABLE instead.")));
+ errhint("Use ALTER TABLE instead.")));
As per the other thread today, this advice would usually be correct,
so I think that not offering any advice at all would be a step down from
that.
