Perhaps you are referring to the following item fixed in 9.4.11 [1]:
"Ensure that cached plans are invalidated by changes in foreign-table options"
ISTM, OP's problem is unrelated. Steps to reproduce:
create extension postgres_fdw ;
create server s1 foreign data wrapper postgres_fdw options (dbname 'db1');
create server s2 foreign data wrapper postgres_fdw options (dbname 'db2');
create user mapping for current_user server s1;
create user mapping for current_user server s2;
create foreign table t1 (a int) server s1 options (table_name 't1');
-- in db1
create table t1 (a) as select 1;
-- in db2
create table t1 (a) as select 2;
-- back in the original database; t1's server s1 connected to db1
select * from t1;a
---1
(1 row)
-- make s1 point to db2
alter server s1 options (set dbname 'db2');
-- postgres_fdw will still connect to db1
select * from t1;a
---1
(1 row)
I think that's because postgres_fdw/connection.c keeps a cache of
connections and does not invalidate it upon pg_foreign_server and/or
pg_user_mapping changes. I think we discussed the possibility of fixing
this back when the above-mentioned fix was being worked on [2], but it
went nowhere.
Thanks,
Amit
