Thread: CREATE SERVER - what is this?

I noticed a few new SQL references in the manual:

CREATE SERVER
CREATE FOREIGN DATA WRAPPER,
CREATE USER MAPPING

Is this similar to DBI-Link?

They appear on the 8.4 release. They were added to support the use of SQL/MED
compliant FOREIGN DATA WRAPPER, SERVER, and USER MAPPING as method to supply
dblink connect parameters. dblink can already use these informations AFAIK.
