RE: [EXTERNAL] Re: CREATE SERVER makes 2 entries in the dictionary

OK, however, I believe I was connected to the test database, with no server defined on the postgres database, but the test copy was progagated from test to postgres.

I’ll double check that again.

Hi,

Le mar. 1 juin 2021 à 14:47, Godfrin, Philippe E <philippe(dot)godfrin(at)nov(dot)com> a écrit :

I’ve connected to a test database, executed the create server syntax successfully. While connected to the test database, I see results in the pg_foreign_server table. Changing to the postgres database, I see the same results in the postgres database, but with a different OID. Furthermore, alterations can be made independently to each server based on which db one is connected to.

Seems to me this is a bug:

Foreign servers aren't global objects, so it sounds right that they get assigned different OIDs on different databases, and could be altered independently.
