This feature enables bulk COPY into foreign table in the case of
multi inserts is possible and foreign table has non-zero number of columns.

FDWAPI was extended by next routines:
* BeginForeignCopy
* EndForeignCopy
* ExecForeignCopy

BeginForeignCopy and EndForeignCopy initialize and free
the CopyState of bulk COPY. The ExecForeignCopy routine send
'COPY ... FROM STDIN' command to the foreign server, in iterative
manner send tuples by CopyTo() machinery, send EOF to this connection.

Code that constructed list of columns for a given foreign relation
in the deparseAnalyzeSql() routine is separated to the deparseRelColumnList().
It is reused in the deparseCopyFromSql().

Added TAP-tests on the specific corner cases of COPY FROM STDIN operation.

By the analogy of CopyFrom() the CopyState structure was extended
with data_dest_cb callback. It is used for send text representation
of a tuple to a custom destination.
The PgFdwModifyState structure is extended with the cstate field.
It is needed for avoid repeated initialization of CopyState. ALso for this
reason CopyTo() routine was split into the set of routines CopyToStart()/
CopyTo()/CopyToFinish().

Enum CopyInsertMethod removed. This logic implements by ri_usesMultiInsert
field of the ResultRelInfo sructure.

Hi hackers!

The problem, actually, is that the default TOAST is often not good for




modern loads and amounts of data.Pluggable TOAST is based not only




on pure enthusiasm, but on demands and tickets from production




databases.The main demand is effective and transparent storage subsystem




for large values for some problematic types of data, which we already have,




with proven efficiency.







So we're really quite surprised that it has got so little feedback. We've
got




some opinions on approach but there is no any general one on the approach




itself except doubts about the TOAST mechanism needs revision at all.







Currently we're busy revising the whole Pluggable TOAST API to make it




available as an extension and based on hooks to minimize changes in




the core. It will be available soon.

Hmm, I'm not sure why would PGDG want to accept such a thing.  I read
"minimize changes" as "open source Postgres can keep their crap
implementation and companies will offer good ones for a fee".  I'd
rather have something that can give users direct benefit -- not hide it
behind proprietary licenses forcing each company to implement their own
performant toaster.

Hi!

Existing TOAST has several very painful drawbacks - lack of UPDATE
operation, bloating of TOAST tables, and limits that are implicitly implied
on base tables by their TOAST tables, so it is seems not fair to say that
Pluggable TOAST does not solve any problems but just introduces new
ones.

The main reason behind this decision is that keeping the first
implementation
on the side of the vanilla (I mean rebasing it) over time is very difficult
due
to the very invasive nature of this solution.

So we decided to reduce changes in the core to the minimum necessary
to make it available through the hooks, because the hooks part is very
lightweight and simple to keep rebasing onto the vanilla core. We plan
to keep this extension free with the PostgreSQL license, so any PostgreSQL
user could benefit from the TOAST on steroids, and sometimes in the
future it will be a much simpler task to integrate the Pluggable TOAST into
the vanilla, along with our advanced TOAST implementations which
we plan to keep under Open Source licenses too.

At least I don't think we should accept such hooks. I don't think I am alone
in that.
