The following documentation comment has been logged on the website:
Page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.1/static/sql-dropforeigntable.html
Description:
I see DROP FOREIGN TABLE and wonder if it actually deletes data like DROP
TABLE would do.
What does it mean to CREATE FOREIGN TABLE? Is it just a mapping onto
external data, or am I creating a table in the other database.
Too few words given over to helping me understand what FOREIGN brings to the
table in all these commands.
