psql slash usage show two options for listing foreign tables.
\dE[S+] [PATTERN] list foreign tables
\det[+] [PATTERN] list foreign tables
This seems a little odd especially when the output of both of these commands is different.
postgres=# \dE+
List of relations
Schema | Name | Type | Owner
--------+------+---------------+--------
public | foo | foreign table | highgo
(1 row)
postgres=# \det
List of foreign tables
Schema | Table | Server
--------+-------+---------
public | foo | orc_srv
(1 row)
"\dE" displays the list with a "List of relations" heading whereas "\det" displays "List of foreign tables". So, to differentiate the two, I suggest to change the help message for "\dE" to:
\dE[S+] [PATTERN] list foreign relations
One could argue that both essentially mean the same thing, however, considering "\dE+" also outputs size, it makes sense IMHO to make this change (as PG documentation: relation is essentially a mathematical term for table). Attached is the patch that makes this change.
