Re: create foreign table

First you need to create foreign server, foreign data wrapper then followed by granting access to use the postgres_fdw.. then try accessing it.. that's the optimal way.. I'm not getting what is being tried here

Hi,

Howdy,

Receiving an error without much detail when creating a foreign table:

2024-10-14 11:08:30.928 PDT [1177724] ERROR: conflicting or redundant options
2024-10-14 11:08:30.928 PDT [1177724] STATEMENT: CREATE FOREIGN TABLE ext_invalids (
validcargo char(8),
validauto char(8),
cllocid char(8),
insdid char(6),
memberid char(14),
attachdate char(12),
commonauthority char(1),
contractauthority char(1),
compname char(60),
docket_num char(9)
) SERVER external_dat_dir OPTIONS(filename 'DISABLED', format 'csv', delimiter ',', program '');

I'm not seeing much out there on the error. I'm also not seeing what are valid values for the OPTIONS keyword in the Postgres documentation.

Would someone be able to give advice here, please?

Saying which FDW you're using would help, but I guess it's file_fdw.

You can't specify both filename and program. You have to choose one of them.

Regards.
