oracle_fdw will complain about zero bytes, so odds are that your PostgreSQL database is fine.
This is confirmed by the face that "SELECT * FROM atable" works in PostgreSQL.

I can see two options:

1. The statement that causes the errors is actually a different statement, for
   example an INSERT.

2. 'foo' and 'foo2' contain zero bytes.
