Hi,
I'm writing my first FDW, and I need to get the list of columns I
actually need to fetch when planning the query. I do want to fetch only
the columns that are actually needed, not all of them.
Initially I've used RelOptInfo->reltargetlist but it seems it does not
cover cases like
SELECT 1 FROM FDW WHERE column_a = 1
and so on. Even RelOptInfo->attr_needed seems not to work as this
returns "not needed" for all columns:
for (i = baserel->min_attr; i <= baserel->max_attr; i++) { if (baserel->attr_needed[i-baserel->min_attr] !=
NULL) elog(WARNING, "attr %d needed", i); else elog(WARNING, "attr %d not needed", i); }
Where to get this info?
Also, I'd like to apply as much restrictions as possible when executing
the plan. I see there's PlanState->qual, described as "implicitly-ANDed
qual conditions", which I assume is what I need. But this seems to be
available only in BeginForeignScan (as ss.ps.qual in ForeignScanState),
not in planning which is the place where I need to compute estimates
etc. Where do I get this, when planning the query?
kind regards
Tomas
