Обсуждение: d844cd75a and postgres_fdw

Hi,

I'm seeing an issue after upgrading from 12.13 to 15.4. This happens
when we run a query against a foreign table (fdw on the same instance to
a different database) -- but does not appear when we get rid of
postgres_fdw:

ERROR:  cursor can only scan forward
HINT:  Declare it with SCROLL option to enable backward scan.
CONTEXT:  remote SQL command: MOVE BACKWARD ALL IN c1

SQL state: 55000

I attached the query. The name of the foreign table is
"foobar.sys_user".

Looks like the bug #17889, and this is the last email in that thread:
https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/1852635.1682808624%40sss.pgh.pa.us

OTOH, same query works (against the FDW) when we remove the following
WHERE clause:

WHERE
    tbl.table_status = 'A'
    AND tbl.table_id <> 1
    AND tbl.table_id <> - 2

Any hints?

Regards,

The error occurs when rescanning a postgres_fdw foreign relation, so I
think the reason why the query works would be that the planner chose a
join plan other than a nestloop join plan.

I proposed a fix for this in [1].

I pushed the fix and back-patched to v15.  Thanks for the report!
