Commit 86dc90056 expects that FDWs can cope with whole-row Vars for their tables, even if the Vars are marked with vartype RECORDOID. Previously, whole-row Vars generated by the planner had vartype equal to the relevant table's rowtype OID. (The point behind this change is to enable sharing of resjunk columns across inheritance child tables.) It turns out that postgres_fdw fails to cope with this, though through bad fortune none of its test cases exposed that. Things mostly work, but when we try to read back a value of such a Var, the expected rowtype is not available to record_in(). Fortunately, it's not difficult to hack up the tupdesc that controls this process to substitute the foreign table's rowtype for RECORDOID. Thus we can solve the runtime problem while still sharing the resjunk column with other tables. Per report from Alexander Pyhalov.

PostgreSQL Database Management System ===================================== This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL database management system. PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types and functions. This distribution also contains C language bindings. PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here: https://www.postgresql.org/download/ See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install PostgreSQL. That file also lists supported operating systems and hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL system. Copyright and license information can be found in the file COPYRIGHT. A comprehensive documentation set is included in this distribution; it can be read as described in the installation instructions. The latest version of this software may be obtained at https://www.postgresql.org/download/. For more information look at our web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
