fdw_invalid_attribute_value
A foreign data wrapper received an attribute (column) value that is invalid, out of range, or incompatible with the expected type for that attribute.
- 1Remote column contains a value that cannot be cast to the local column type
- 2FDW option attribute value is outside the allowed range (e.g. fetch_size = -1)
- 3NULL value received for a NOT NULL local column
- 4Remote server returned a value in an unexpected encoding
Fetching data from a foreign table or setting a FDW attribute with an invalid value
ALTER FOREIGN TABLE my_ft OPTIONS (SET fetch_size '-1');
expected output
ERROR: HV024: fdw_invalid_attribute_value
Fix 1
Use a valid attribute value
WHEN FDW option value is out of range
ALTER FOREIGN TABLE my_ft OPTIONS (SET fetch_size '100');
Why this works
Sets the attribute to a value within the FDW-accepted range
Fix 2
Check remote column types for compatibility
WHEN Remote data cannot be cast to local type
SELECT column_name, data_type FROM information_schema.columns WHERE table_name = 'remote_table';
Why this works
Identifies type mismatches between remote and local foreign table definitions
✕ Do not use negative values for size/count FDW options
Most FDWs require positive integers for options like fetch_size, batch_size
