Tom Lane	dc3eb56383	Improve updatability checking for views and foreign tables. Extend the FDW API (which we already changed for 9.3) so that an FDW can report whether specific foreign tables are insertable/updatable/deletable. The default assumption continues to be that they're updatable if the relevant executor callback function is supplied by the FDW, but finer granularity is now possible. As a test case, add an "updatable" option to contrib/postgres_fdw. This patch also fixes the information_schema views, which previously did not think that foreign tables were ever updatable, and fixes view_is_auto_updatable() so that a view on a foreign table can be auto-updatable. initdb forced due to changes in information_schema views and the functions they rely on. This is a bit unfortunate to do post-beta1, but if we don't change this now then we'll have another API break for FDWs when we do change it.

Tom Lane	d0d75c4022	Add postgres_fdw contrib module.

Improve updatability checking for views and foreign tables.

Extend the FDW API (which we already changed for 9.3) so that an FDW can
report whether specific foreign tables are insertable/updatable/deletable.
The default assumption continues to be that they're updatable if the
relevant executor callback function is supplied by the FDW, but finer
granularity is now possible.  As a test case, add an "updatable" option to
contrib/postgres_fdw.

This patch also fixes the information_schema views, which previously did
not think that foreign tables were ever updatable, and fixes
view_is_auto_updatable() so that a view on a foreign table can be
auto-updatable.

initdb forced due to changes in information_schema views and the functions
they rely on.  This is a bit unfortunate to do post-beta1, but if we don't
change this now then we'll have another API break for FDWs when we do
change it.

Add postgres_fdw contrib module.

There's still a lot of room for improvement, but it basically works,
and we need this to be present before we can do anything much with the
writable-foreign-tables patch.  So let's commit it and get on with testing.
