Hi,

I took at this patch today. I did some minor changes, mostly:

1) change the code limiting batch_size from

    if (fmstate->p_nums > 0 &&
       (batch_size * fmstate->p_nums > PQ_QUERY_PARAM_MAX_LIMIT))
    {
        batch_size = PQ_QUERY_PARAM_MAX_LIMIT / fmstate->p_nums;
    }

to

    if (fmstate && fmstate->p_nums > 0)
        batch_size = Min(batch_size,
                         PQ_QUERY_PARAM_MAX_LIMIT / fmstate->p_nums);

which I think is somewhat clearer / more common patter.


2) I've reworded the docs a bit, splitting the single para into two. I
think this makes it clearer.


Attached is a patch doing this. Please check the commit message etc.
Barring objections I'll get it committed in a couple days.



regards

Subject: [PATCH] Make sure postgres_fdw batching does use too many parameters

The FE/BE protocol identifies parameters with an Int16 index, which
limits the maximum number of parameters per query to 65535. With
batching added to postges_fdw this limit is much easier to hit, as
the whole batch is essentially a single query, making this error much
easier to hit.

The failures are a bit unpredictable, because it also depends on the
number of columns in the query. So instead of just failing, this patch
tweaks the batch_size to not exceed the maximum number of parameters.
