Excluding foreign tables

[nobelsmith]

I am trying to exclude foreign tables because I am getting a hypopg error when trying to create an index on them. However even if i pass them in to dexter using --exclude I get the same error.

For example:
dexter --pg-stat-statements -d mydb --exclude foo.bar --log-sql --log-level debug2

results in:

[sql] SELECT * FROM hypopg_create_index('CREATE INDEX ON "foo"."bar" ("column")')
/opt/dexter/vendor/bundle/ruby/3.1.0/gems/pgdexter-0.5.2/lib/dexter/indexer.rb:539:in `exec_params': ERROR:  hypopg: "bar" is not a table or materialized view (PG::InternalError)

I am currently running postgres 16 on ubuntu 22.04 any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi @nobelsmith, thanks for reporting! I'm not able to reproduce the issue with --exclude, but fixed the error with foreign tables in the commit above.
