RE: Execute a function through fdw

Hi,

I got one more issue after I created my view.

I created it on my Server 1 but I am unable to view it on the Server 2.
I can see all tables through fdw after IMPORT FOREIGN SCHEMA.

I was able to get access to my view only after recreating the SERVER / USER MAPPING on Server 2.

Is it the expected behavior to recreate the FOREIGN SERVER / SCHEMA after a new table or view has been created ?

Regards,

Thanks a lot for your answer.
Using a view is really a good solution for my case.
As I already use fdw for some other cases, I prefer not to mix with dblink.

Yeah.  Or if you really want to call a remote function by name, see dblink.  postgres_fdw actively avoids doing that
sortof thing.
