Thread: Foreign Table docs are way to brief.
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.

Patches for improvements are welcome if you think that's worth it. Now there is this bit in the documentation that explains the concept of foreign objects, so it is not like there is nothing on the matter: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.6/static/ddl-foreign-data.html -- Michael
