PostgreSQL: Cleanup Pass on Foreign Data and Logging Edge Cases
Today's commits focus on hardening edge cases that only show up under concurrent activity or specific build configurations, including a foreign data wrapper crash fix and a statement-logging gap. There's no single feature push, just a batch of correctness and maintainability fixes.

Good morning. It's July 10th, 2026, and this is your PostgreSQL briefing.
The clearest pattern today is defensive cleanup around foreign data wrapper statistics handling. Etsuro Fujita's commit 54cd6fc removes a reliance on schema-and-name lookups for importing remote statistics in postgres_fdw. That approach could throw an error if a schema got renamed mid-operation. The fix introduces…
Second theme: logging correctness. Jim Jones and Fujii Masao tackled a real gap in log_statement_max_length, where prepared statement details in EXECUTE logging weren't respecting the configured truncation limit. Commit 999a841 closes that gap and adds an ellipsis marker so truncated output is unambiguous. A related…
A few other fixes worth knowing about. Peter Eisentraut's commit dfce19c blocks a crash scenario when using the FOR PORTION OF clause on views with INSTEAD OF triggers — that combination wasn't previously guarded against. Heikki Linnakangas landed two hardening commits: one making libpq's buffer-draining error…
What's next: if you maintain code around statistics import in foreign data wrappers, check for use of the older SPI-based path, since it's being phased out at the interface…
That's…
