The FDW handler function returns a palloc'd <code class="structname">FdwRoutine</code>
struct containing pointers to the callback functions described below.
The scan-related functions are required, the rest are optional.
</p><p>
The <code class="structname">FdwRoutine</code> struct type is declared in

details.

</pre><p>
Obtain relation size estimates for a foreign table. This is called
at the beginning of planning for a query that scans a foreign table.
<code class="literal">root</code> is the planner's global information about the query;
<code class="literal">baserel</code> is the planner's information about this table; and
<code class="literal">foreigntableid</code> is the <code class="structname">pg_class</code> OID of the
foreign table. (<code class="literal">foreigntableid</code> could be obtained from the
planner data structures, but it's passed explicitly to save effort.)
</p><p>
This function should update <code class="literal">baserel->rows</code> to be the
expected number of rows returned by the table scan, after accounting for
the filtering done by the restriction quals. The initial value of
<code class="literal">baserel->rows</code> is just a constant default estimate, which
should be replaced if at all possible. The function may also choose to
update <code class="literal">baserel->width</code> if it can compute a better estimate
of the average result row width.
(The initial value is based on column data types and on column
average-width values measured by the last <code class="command">ANALYZE</code>.)
Also, this function may update <code class="literal">baserel->tuples</code> if
it can compute a better estimate of the foreign table's total row count.
(The initial value is
from <code class="structname">pg_class</code>.<code class="structfield">reltuples</code>
which represents the total row count seen by the
last <code class="command">ANALYZE</code>; it will be <code class="literal">-1</code> if
no <code class="command">ANALYZE</code> has been done on this foreign table.)

Create possible access paths for a scan on a foreign table.

The parameters are the same as for <code class="function">GetForeignRelSize</code>,
which has already been called.
</p><p>
This function must generate at least one access path

<code class="structname">ForeignPath</code> nodes. The function can generate multiple
access paths, e.g., a path which has valid <code class="literal">pathkeys</code> to
represent a pre-sorted result. Each access path must contain cost
estimates, and can contain any FDW-private information that is needed to
identify the specific scan method intended.

</pre><p>
Create a <code class="structname">ForeignScan</code> plan node from the selected foreign

The parameters are as for <code class="function">GetForeignRelSize</code>, plus
the selected <code class="structname">ForeignPath</code> (previously produced by
<code class="function">GetForeignPaths</code>, <code class="function">GetForeignJoinPaths</code>,

</p><p>
</p><pre class="programlisting">
void
BeginForeignScan(ForeignScanState *node,
int eflags);
</pre><p>
Begin executing a foreign scan. This is called during executor startup.
It should perform any initialization needed before the scan can start,
but not start executing the actual scan (that should be done upon the
first call to <code class="function">IterateForeignScan</code>).
The <code class="structname">ForeignScanState</code> node has already been created, but
its <code class="structfield">fdw_state</code> field is still NULL. Information about
the table to scan is accessible through the
<code class="structname">ForeignScanState</code> node (in particular, from the underlying
<code class="structname">ForeignScan</code> plan node, which contains any FDW-private
information provided by <code class="function">GetForeignPlan</code>).
<code class="literal">eflags</code> contains flag bits describing the executor's
operating mode for this plan node.
</p><p>
Note that when <code class="literal">(eflags & EXEC_FLAG_EXPLAIN_ONLY)</code> is
true, this function should not perform any externally-visible actions;
it should only do the minimum required to make the node state valid
for <code class="function">ExplainForeignScan</code> and <code class="function">EndForeignScan</code>.
</p><p>
</p><pre class="programlisting">
TupleTableSlot *
IterateForeignScan(ForeignScanState *node);
</pre><p>
Fetch one row from the foreign source, returning it in a tuple table slot
(the node's <code class="structfield">ScanTupleSlot</code> should be used for this
purpose). Return NULL if no more rows are available. The tuple table
slot infrastructure allows either a physical or virtual tuple to be
returned; in most cases the latter choice is preferable from a
performance standpoint. Note that this is called in a short-lived memory
context that will be reset between invocations. Create a memory context
in <code class="function">BeginForeignScan</code> if you need longer-lived storage, or use
the <code class="structfield">es_query_cxt</code> of the node's <code class="structname">EState</code>.
</p><p>
The rows returned must match the <code class="structfield">fdw_scan_tlist</code> target
list if one was supplied, otherwise they must match the row type of the
foreign table being scanned. If you choose to optimize away fetching
columns that are not needed, you should insert nulls in those column
positions, or else generate a <code class="structfield">fdw_scan_tlist</code> list with
those columns omitted.
</p><p>
Note that <span class="productname">PostgreSQL</span>'s executor doesn't care
whether the rows returned violate any constraints that were defined on
the foreign table — but the planner does care, and may optimize
queries incorrectly if there are rows visible in the foreign table that
do not satisfy a declared constraint. If a constraint is violated when
the user has declared that the constraint should hold true, it may be
appropriate to raise an error (just as you would need to do in the case
of a data type mismatch).
</p><p>
</p><pre class="programlisting">
void
ReScanForeignScan(ForeignScanState *node);
</pre><p>
Restart the scan from the beginning. Note that any parameters the
scan depends on may have changed value, so the new scan does not
necessarily return exactly the same rows.
</p><p>
</p><pre class="programlisting">
void
EndForeignScan(ForeignScanState *node);
</pre><p>
End the scan and release resources. It is normally not important
to release palloc'd memory, but for example open files and connections
to remote servers should be cleaned up.
</p></div><div class="sect2" id="FDW-CALLBACKS-JOIN-SCAN"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title">57.2.2. FDW Routines for Scanning Foreign Joins</h3></div></div></div><p>
If an FDW supports performing foreign joins remotely (rather than
by fetching both tables' data and doing the join locally), it should
provide this callback function:
</p><p>
</p><pre class="programlisting">
void
GetForeignJoinPaths(PlannerInfo *root,
RelOptInfo *joinrel,
RelOptInfo *outerrel,
RelOptInfo *innerrel,
JoinType jointype,
JoinPathExtraData *extra);
</pre><p>
Create possible access paths for a join of two (or more) foreign tables
that all belong to the same foreign server. This optional
function is called during query planning. As
with <code class="function">GetForeignPaths</code>, this function should
generate <code class="structname">ForeignPath</code> path(s) for the
supplied <code class="literal">joinrel</code>
(use <code class="function">create_foreign_join_path</code> to build them),
and call <code class="function">add_path</code> to add these
paths to the set of paths considered for the join. But unlike
<code class="function">GetForeignPaths</code>, it is not necessary that this function
succeed in creating at least one path, since paths involving local
joining are always possible.
</p><p>
Note that this function will be invoked repeatedly for the same join
relation, with different combinations of inner and outer relations; it is
the responsibility of the FDW to minimize duplicated work.
</p><p>
If a <code class="structname">ForeignPath</code> path is chosen for the join, it will
represent the entire join process; paths generated for the component
tables and subsidiary joins will not be used. Subsequent processing of
the join path proceeds much as it does for a path scanning a single
foreign table. One difference is that the <code class="structfield">scanrelid</code> of
the resulting <code class="structname">ForeignScan</code> plan node should be set to zero,
since there is no single relation that it represents; instead,
the <code class="structfield">fs_relids</code> field of the <code class="structname">ForeignScan</code>
node represents the set of relations that were joined. (The latter field
is set up automatically by the core planner code, and need not be filled
by the FDW.) Another difference is that, because the column list for a
remote join cannot be found from the system catalogs, the FDW must
fill <code class="structfield">fdw_scan_tlist</code> with an appropriate list
of <code class="structfield">TargetEntry</code> nodes, representing the set of columns
it will supply at run time in the tuples it returns.
</p><p>

If an FDW supports performing remote post-scan/join processing, such as
remote aggregation, it should provide this callback function:
</p><p>
</p><pre class="programlisting">
void
GetForeignUpperPaths(PlannerInfo *root,
UpperRelationKind stage,
RelOptInfo *input_rel,
RelOptInfo *output_rel,
void *extra);
</pre><p>
Create possible access paths for <em class="firstterm">upper relation</em> processing,
which is the planner's term for all post-scan/join query processing, such
as aggregation, window functions, sorting, and table updates. This
optional function is called during query planning. Currently, it is
called only if all base relation(s) involved in the query belong to the
same FDW. This function should generate <code class="structname">ForeignPath</code>
path(s) for any post-scan/join processing that the FDW knows how to
perform remotely
(use <code class="function">create_foreign_upper_path</code> to build them),
and call <code class="function">add_path</code> to add these paths to
the indicated upper relation. As with <code class="function">GetForeignJoinPaths</code>,
it is not necessary that this function succeed in creating any paths,
since paths involving local processing are always possible.
</p><p>
The <code class="literal">stage</code> parameter identifies which post-scan/join step is
currently being considered. <code class="literal">output_rel</code> is the upper relation
that should receive paths representing computation of this step,
and <code class="literal">input_rel</code> is the relation representing the input to this
step. The <code class="literal">extra</code> parameter provides additional details,
currently, it is set only for <code class="literal">UPPERREL_PARTIAL_GROUP_AGG</code>
or <code class="literal">UPPERREL_GROUP_AGG</code>, in which case it points to a
<code class="literal">GroupPathExtraData</code> structure;
or for <code class="literal">UPPERREL_FINAL</code>, in which case it points to a
<code class="literal">FinalPathExtraData</code> structure.
(Note that <code class="structname">ForeignPath</code> paths added
to <code class="literal">output_rel</code> would typically not have any direct dependency
on paths of the <code class="literal">input_rel</code>, since their processing is expected
to be done externally. However, examining paths previously generated for
the previous processing step can be useful to avoid redundant planning
work.)

</p></div><div class="sect2" id="FDW-CALLBACKS-UPDATE"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title">57.2.4. FDW Routines for Updating Foreign Tables</h3></div></div></div><p>
If an FDW supports writable foreign tables, it should provide
some or all of the following callback functions depending on
the needs and capabilities of the FDW:
</p><p>
</p><pre class="programlisting">
void
AddForeignUpdateTargets(PlannerInfo *root,
Index rtindex,
RangeTblEntry *target_rte,
Relation target_relation);
</pre><p>
<code class="command">UPDATE</code> and <code class="command">DELETE</code> operations are performed
against rows previously fetched by the table-scanning functions. The
FDW may need extra information, such as a row ID or the values of
primary-key columns, to ensure that it can identify the exact row to
update or delete. To support that, this function can add extra hidden,
or <span class="quote">“<span class="quote">junk</span>”</span>, target columns to the list of columns that are to be
retrieved from the foreign table during an <code class="command">UPDATE</code> or
<code class="command">DELETE</code>.
</p><p>
To do that, construct a <code class="structname">Var</code> representing
an extra value you need, and pass it
to <code class="function">add_row_identity_var</code>, along with a name for
the junk column. (You can do this more than once if several columns
are needed.) You must choose a distinct junk column name for each
different <code class="structname">Var</code> you need, except
that <code class="structname">Var</code>s that are identical except for
the <code class="structfield">varno</code> field can and should share a
column name.
The core system uses the junk column names
<code class="literal">tableoid</code> for a
table's <code class="structfield">tableoid</code> column,
<code class="literal">ctid</code>
or <code class="literal">ctid<em class="replaceable"><code>N</code></em></code>
for <code class="structfield">ctid</code>,
<code class="literal">wholerow</code>
for a whole-row <code class="structname">Var</code> marked with
<code class="structfield">vartype</code> = <code class="type">RECORD</code>,
and <code class="literal">wholerow<em class="replaceable"><code>N</code></em></code>
for a whole-row <code class="structname">Var</code> with
<code class="structfield">vartype</code> equal to the table's declared row type.
Re-use these names when you can (the planner will combine duplicate
requests for identical junk columns). If you need another kind of
junk column besides these, it might be wise to choose a name prefixed
with your extension name, to avoid conflicts against other FDWs.
</p><p>
If the <code class="function">AddForeignUpdateTargets</code> pointer is set to
<code class="literal">NULL</code>, no extra target expressions are added.
(This will make it impossible to implement <code class="command">DELETE</code>
operations, though <code class="command">UPDATE</code> may still be feasible if the FDW
relies on an unchanging primary key to identify rows.)
</p><p>
</p><pre class="programlisting">

Perform any additional planning actions needed for an insert, update, or

information that will be attached to the <code class="structname">ModifyTable</code> plan
node that performs the update action. This private information must
have the form of a <code class="literal">List</code>, and will be delivered to
<code class="function">BeginForeignModify</code> during the execution stage.
</p><p>
<code class="literal">root</code> is the planner's global information about the query.
<code class="literal">plan</code> is the <code class="structname">ModifyTable</code> plan node, which is
complete except for the <code class="structfield">fdwPrivLists</code> field.
<code class="literal">resultRelation</code> identifies the target foreign table by its
range table index. <code class="literal">subplan_index</code> identifies which target of
the <code class="structname">ModifyTable</code> plan node this is, counting from zero;
use this if you want to index into per-target-relation substructures of the

columns. (The <code class="literal">planSlot</code> is typically of little interest
for <code class="command">INSERT</code> cases, but is provided for completeness.)
</p><p>
The return value is either a slot containing the data that was actually
inserted (this might differ from the data supplied, for example as a
result of trigger actions), or NULL if no row was actually inserted
(again, typically as a result of triggers). The passed-in
<code class="literal">slot</code> can be re-used for this purpose.
</p><p>
The data in the returned slot is used only if the <code class="command">INSERT</code>
statement has a <code class="literal">RETURNING</code> clause or involves a view

an <code class="literal">AFTER ROW</code> trigger. Triggers require all columns,
but the FDW could choose to optimize away returning some or all columns

Some inserts, updates, and deletes to foreign tables can be optimized
by implementing an alternative set of interfaces. The ordinary
interfaces for inserts, updates, and deletes fetch rows from the remote
server and then modify those rows one at a time. In some cases, this
row-by-row approach is necessary, but it can be inefficient. If it is
possible for the foreign server to determine which rows should be
modified without actually retrieving them, and if there are no local
structures which would affect the operation (row-level local triggers,
stored generated columns, or <code class="literal">WITH CHECK OPTION</code>
constraints from parent views), then it is possible to arrange things
so that the entire operation is performed on the remote server. The

a member of the <code class="literal">RowMarkType</code> enum type.
</p><p>
This function is called during query planning for each foreign table that
appears in an <code class="command">UPDATE</code>, <code class="command">DELETE</code>, or <code class="command">SELECT

or <code class="command">DELETE</code>.
</p><p>
If the <code class="function">GetForeignRowMarkType</code> pointer is set to
<code class="literal">NULL</code>, the <code class="literal">ROW_MARK_COPY</code> option is always used.

so it need not be provided either.)

</p><p>
</p><pre class="programlisting">

ExecRowMark *erm,
Datum rowid,
TupleTableSlot *slot,
bool *updated);
</pre><p>
Re-fetch one tuple slot from the foreign table, after locking it if required.
<code class="literal">estate</code> is global execution state for the query.
<code class="literal">erm</code> is the <code class="structname">ExecRowMark</code> struct describing
the target foreign table and the row lock type (if any) to acquire.
<code class="literal">rowid</code> identifies the tuple to be fetched.
<code class="literal">slot</code> contains nothing useful upon call, but can be used to
hold the returned tuple. <code class="literal">updated</code> is an output parameter.
</p><p>
This function should store the tuple into the provided slot, or clear it if
the row lock couldn't be obtained. The row lock type to acquire is
defined by <code class="literal">erm->markType</code>, which is the value
previously returned by <code class="function">GetForeignRowMarkType</code>.
(<code class="literal">ROW_MARK_REFERENCE</code> means to just re-fetch the tuple
without acquiring any lock, and <code class="literal">ROW_MARK_COPY</code> will
never be seen by this routine.)
</p><p>
In addition, <code class="literal">*updated</code> should be set to <code class="literal">true</code>
if what was fetched was an updated version of the tuple rather than
the same version previously obtained. (If the FDW cannot be sure about
this, always returning <code class="literal">true</code> is recommended.)
</p><p>
Note that by default, failure to acquire a row lock should result in
raising an error; returning with an empty slot is only appropriate if
the <code class="literal">SKIP LOCKED</code> option is specified
by <code class="literal">erm->waitPolicy</code>.
</p><p>
The <code class="literal">rowid</code> is the <code class="structfield">ctid</code> value previously read

passed as a <code class="type">Datum</code>, it can currently only be a <code class="type">tid</code>. The

bool
RecheckForeignScan(ForeignScanState *node,
TupleTableSlot *slot);
</pre><p>
Recheck that a previously-returned tuple still matches the relevant
scan and join qualifiers, and possibly provide a modified version of
the tuple. For foreign data wrappers which do not perform join pushdown,
it will typically be more convenient to set this to <code class="literal">NULL</code> and
instead set <code class="structfield">fdw_recheck_quals</code> appropriately.
When outer joins are pushed down, however, it isn't sufficient to
reapply the checks relevant to all the base tables to the result tuple,
even if all needed attributes are present, because failure to match some
qualifier might result in some attributes going to NULL, rather than in
no tuple being returned. <code class="literal">RecheckForeignScan</code> can recheck
qualifiers and return true if they are still satisfied and false
otherwise, but it can also store a replacement tuple into the supplied
slot.
</p><p>
To implement join pushdown, a foreign data wrapper will typically
construct an alternative local join plan which is used only for
rechecks; this will become the outer subplan of the
<code class="literal">ForeignScan</code>. When a recheck is required, this subplan
can be executed and the resulting tuple can be stored in the slot.
This plan need not be efficient since no base table will return more
than one row; for example, it may implement all joins as nested loops.
The function <code class="literal">GetExistingLocalJoinPath</code> may be used to search
existing paths for a suitable local join path, which can be used as the
alternative local join plan. <code class="literal">GetExistingLocalJoinPath</code>
searches for an unparameterized path in the path list of the specified
join relation. (If it does not find such a path, it returns NULL, in
which case a foreign data wrapper may build the local path by itself or
may choose not to create access paths for that join.)

empty), <code class="literal">FDW_IMPORT_SCHEMA_LIMIT_TO</code> means to include only
tables listed in <code class="structfield">table_list</code>,
and <code class="literal">FDW_IMPORT_SCHEMA_EXCEPT</code> means to exclude the tables
listed in <code class="structfield">table_list</code>.
<code class="structfield">options</code> is a list of options used for the import process.
The meanings of the options are up to the FDW.
For example, an FDW could use an option to define whether the
<code class="literal">NOT NULL</code> attributes of columns should be imported.
These options need not have anything to do with those supported by the
FDW as database object options.
</p><p>
The FDW may ignore the <code class="structfield">local_schema</code> field of
the <code class="structname">ImportForeignSchemaStmt</code>, because the core server
will automatically insert that name into the parsed <code class="command">CREATE
FOREIGN TABLE</code> commands.
</p><p>
The FDW does not have to concern itself with implementing the filtering
specified by <code class="structfield">list_type</code> and <code class="structfield">table_list</code>,
either, as the core server will automatically skip any returned commands
for tables excluded according to those options. However, it's often
useful to avoid the work of creating commands for excluded tables in the
first place. The function <code class="function">IsImportableForeignTable()</code> may be
useful to test whether a given foreign-table name will pass the filter.
</p><p>
If the FDW does not support importing table definitions, the
<code class="function">ImportForeignSchema</code> pointer can be set to <code class="literal">NULL</code>.

A <code class="structname">ForeignScan</code> node can, optionally, support parallel
execution. A parallel <code class="structname">ForeignScan</code> will be executed
in multiple processes and must return each row exactly once across
all cooperating processes. To do this, processes can coordinate through
fixed-size chunks of dynamic shared memory. This shared memory is not
guaranteed to be mapped at the same address in every process, so it
must not contain pointers. The following functions are all optional,
but most are required if parallel execution is to be supported.
</p><p>
</p><pre class="programlisting">
bool
IsForeignScanParallelSafe(PlannerInfo *root, RelOptInfo *rel,
RangeTblEntry *rte);
</pre><p>
Test whether a scan can be performed within a parallel worker. This
function will only be called when the planner believes that a parallel
plan might be possible, and should return true if it is safe for that scan
to run within a parallel worker. This will generally not be the case if
the remote data source has transaction semantics, unless the worker's
connection to the data can somehow be made to share the same transaction
context as the leader.
</p><p>
If this function is not defined, it is assumed that the scan must take
place within the parallel leader. Note that returning true does not mean
that the scan itself can be done in parallel, only that the scan can be
performed within a parallel worker. Therefore, it can be useful to define
this method even when parallel execution is not supported.
</p><p>
</p><pre class="programlisting">
Size
EstimateDSMForeignScan(ForeignScanState *node, ParallelContext *pcxt);
</pre><p>
Estimate the amount of dynamic shared memory that will be required
for parallel operation. This may be higher than the amount that will
actually be used, but it must not be lower. The return value is in bytes.
This function is optional, and can be omitted if not needed; but if it
is omitted, the next three functions must be omitted as well, because
no shared memory will be allocated for the FDW's use.
</p><p>
</p><pre class="programlisting">
void
InitializeDSMForeignScan(ForeignScanState *node, ParallelContext *pcxt,
void *coordinate);
</pre><p>
Initialize the dynamic shared memory that will be required for parallel
operation. <code class="literal">coordinate</code> points to a shared memory area of
size equal to the return value of <code class="function">EstimateDSMForeignScan</code>.
This function is optional, and can be omitted if not needed.
</p><p>
</p><pre class="programlisting">
void
ReInitializeDSMForeignScan(ForeignScanState *node, ParallelContext *pcxt,
void *coordinate);
</pre><p>
Re-initialize the dynamic shared memory required for parallel operation
when the foreign-scan plan node is about to be re-scanned.
This function is optional, and can be omitted if not needed.
Recommended practice is that this function reset only shared state,
while the <code class="function">ReScanForeignScan</code> function resets only local
state. Currently, this function will be called
before <code class="function">ReScanForeignScan</code>, but it's best not to rely on
that ordering.
</p><p>
</p><pre class="programlisting">
void
InitializeWorkerForeignScan(ForeignScanState *node, shm_toc *toc,
void *coordinate);
</pre><p>
Initialize a parallel worker's local state based on the shared state
set up by the leader during <code class="function">InitializeDSMForeignScan</code>.
This function is optional, and can be omitted if not needed.
</p><p>
</p><pre class="programlisting">
void
ShutdownForeignScan(ForeignScanState *node);
</pre><p>
Release resources when it is anticipated the node will not be executed
to completion. This is not called in all cases; sometimes,
<code class="literal">EndForeignScan</code> may be called without this function having
been called first. Since the DSM segment used by parallel query is
destroyed just after this callback is invoked, foreign data wrappers that
wish to take some action before the DSM segment goes away should implement
this method.

A <code class="structname">ForeignScan</code> node can, optionally, support
asynchronous execution as described in
<code class="filename">src/backend/executor/README</code>. The following
functions are all optional, but are all required if asynchronous
execution is to be supported.
</p><p>
</p><pre class="programlisting">
bool
IsForeignPathAsyncCapable(ForeignPath *path);
</pre><p>
Test whether a given <code class="structname">ForeignPath</code> path can scan
the underlying foreign relation asynchronously.
This function will only be called at the end of query planning when the
given path is a direct child of an <code class="structname">AppendPath</code>
path and when the planner believes that asynchronous execution improves
performance, and should return true if the given path is able to scan the
foreign relation asynchronously.
</p><p>
If this function is not defined, it is assumed that the given path scans
the foreign relation using <code class="function">IterateForeignScan</code>.
(This implies that the callback functions described below will never be
called, so they need not be provided either.)
</p><p>
</p><pre class="programlisting">
void
ForeignAsyncRequest(AsyncRequest *areq);
</pre><p>
Produce one tuple asynchronously from the
<code class="structname">ForeignScan</code> node. <code class="literal">areq</code> is
the <code class="structname">AsyncRequest</code> struct describing the
<code class="structname">ForeignScan</code> node and the parent
<code class="structname">Append</code> node that requested the tuple from it.
This function should store the tuple into the slot specified by
<code class="literal">areq->result</code>, and set
<code class="literal">areq->request_complete</code> to <code class="literal">true</code>;
or if it needs to wait on an event external to the core server such as
network I/O, and cannot produce any tuple immediately, set the flag to
<code class="literal">false</code>, and set
<code class="literal">areq->callback_pending</code> to <code class="literal">true</code>
for the <code class="structname">ForeignScan</code> node to get a callback from
the callback functions described below. If no more tuples are available,
set the slot to NULL or an empty slot, and the
<code class="literal">areq->request_complete</code> flag to
<code class="literal">true</code>. It's recommended to use
<code class="function">ExecAsyncRequestDone</code> or
<code class="function">ExecAsyncRequestPending</code> to set the output parameters
in the <code class="literal">areq</code>.
</p><p>
</p><pre class="programlisting">
void

Configure a file descriptor event for which the
<code class="structname">ForeignScan</code> node wishes to wait.
This function will only be called when the
<code class="structname">ForeignScan</code> node has the
<code class="literal">areq->callback_pending</code> flag set, and should add
the event to the <code class="structfield">as_eventset</code> of the parent
<code class="structname">Append</code> node described by the
<code class="literal">areq</code>. See the comments for
<code class="function">ExecAsyncConfigureWait</code> in
<code class="filename">src/backend/executor/execAsync.c</code> for additional
information. When the file descriptor event occurs,
<code class="function">ForeignAsyncNotify</code> will be called.
</p><p>
</p><pre class="programlisting">
void
ForeignAsyncNotify(AsyncRequest *areq);
</pre><p>
Process a relevant event that has occurred, then produce one tuple
asynchronously from the <code class="structname">ForeignScan</code> node.
This function should set the output parameters in the
<code class="literal">areq</code> in the same way as
<code class="function">ForeignAsyncRequest</code>.

This function is called while converting a path parameterized by the

parameterized by the child relation. The function is used to reparameterize
any paths or translate any expression nodes saved in the given
