Description

Note: XCONLY: The following description applies only to Postgres-XC.

FOREIGN DATA WRAPPER has not been supported by Postgres-XC yet. This command may be supported in the future releases.

Compatibility

CREATE FOREIGN DATA WRAPPER conforms to ISO/IEC 9075-9 (SQL/MED), with the exception that the HANDLER and VALIDATOR clauses are extensions and the standard clauses LIBRARY and LANGUAGE are not implemented in PostgreSQL.

Note, however, that the SQL/MED functionality as a whole is not yet conforming.
