Re: POC: postgres_fdw insert batching

Hi, Tomas:
In my opinion, my patch is a little better.
Suppose one of the conditions in the if block changes in between the start
of loop and the end of the loop:

     * Determine if the FDW supports batch insert and determine the batch
     * size (a FDW may support batching, but it may be disabled for the
     * server/table).

My patch would reflect that change. I guess this was the reason the if /
else block was placed there in the first place.

Cheers
