PostgreSQLERRORNotableForeign Data Wrapper ErrorHIGH confidence

fdw_function_sequence_error

What this means

A foreign data wrapper callback function was called in the wrong sequence, violating the required FDW execution protocol.

Why it happens
  1. 1FDW implementation calls IterateForeignScan before BeginForeignScan
  2. 2EndForeignScan called multiple times without a corresponding BeginForeignScan
  3. 3FDW code does not follow the required callback invocation order
  4. 4Bug in FDW code that skips or double-calls lifecycle callbacks
How to reproduce

Foreign table scan execution where FDW callbacks are invoked out of order

trigger — this will error
trigger — this will error
SELECT * FROM my_foreign_table;  -- FDW with buggy callback sequencing

expected output

ERROR:  HV010: fdw_function_sequence_error

Fix

Update or fix the FDW extension

WHEN FDW extension has a callback sequencing bug

Update or fix the FDW extension
ALTER EXTENSION my_fdw UPDATE;

Why this works

Replaces the buggy FDW code with a corrected version that respects callback order

What not to do

Do not attempt to work around FDW sequence errors by reordering your SQL

The bug is in the FDW C code, not in your SQL; SQL changes will not fix it
