I've been trying to figure out an issue with operators not being pushed
down for user defined types, in this case "hstore". TL;DR:
hstore=# explain (verbose) select * from hs_fdw where h -> 'a' = '1';
QUERY PLAN
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Foreign Scan on public.hs_fdw (cost=100.00..157.78 rows=7 width=36)
Output: id, h
Filter: ((hs_fdw.h -> 'a'::text) = '1'::text)
Remote SQL: SELECT id, h FROM public.hs
(4 rows)
In terms of "shippability" the "->" operator passes fine. It ends up not
being shipped because its collation bubbles up as FDW_COLLATE_NONE, and
gets kicked back as not deparseable around here:
https://github.com/postgres/postgres/blob/4e026b32d4024b03856b4981b26c747b7fef7afb/contrib/postgres_fdw/deparse.c#L499
I'm still working at wrapping my head around why this is good or not, but
if there's an obvious explanation and/or workaround, I'd love to know.
Thanks!
