The sequence of steps that he posted wasn't actually right. See
subsequent emails on the thread. The patch seems trivially correct,
since this is obviously schizophrenic:
ereport(ERROR,
(errcode(ERRCODE_WRONG_OBJECT_TYPE),
errmsg("\"%s\" is not a foreign table",
!
RelationGetRelationName(targetrelation)),
! errhint("Use ALTER FOREIGN TABLE instead.")));
It's not a... so I should use a... erp.
