FDW dynamic parameter value needed

Category: Foreign Data Wrapper ErrorVersions: All Postgres versions (with FDW extension)

What this means

SQLSTATE HV002 is raised when a foreign data wrapper requires a dynamic parameter value that was not provided — for example, a required FDW option that was omitted from the CREATE SERVER or CREATE FOREIGN TABLE definition.

Why it happens

  1. 1A required FDW option (e.g., host, dbname, table_name) is missing from the foreign server or foreign table definition

How to reproduce

Missing required FDW option.

trigger — this will ERROR
CREATE SERVER remote_pg FOREIGN DATA WRAPPER postgres_fdw;
-- missing host and dbname options
ERROR: required option "host" is missing

Fix 1: Provide all required options in the FDW object definition

When creating a foreign server or foreign table.

fix
CREATE SERVER remote_pg
  FOREIGN DATA WRAPPER postgres_fdw
  OPTIONS (host 'remote.host', dbname 'remotedb', port '5432');

Why this works

Consult the FDW documentation for the required options and include them all in the CREATE SERVER or CREATE FOREIGN TABLE statement.
