Yeah, I know those functions. Sawada-san was talking about Ctrl + C, so I responded accordingly.

Also, how can the DBA find sessions to run those functions against? Can he tell if a session is connected to or running SQL to a given foreign server? Can he terminate or cancel all session with one SQL command that are stuck in accessing a particular foreign server?

Furthermore, FDW is not cancellable in general. So, I don't see a point in trying hard to make only commit be cancelable.
