CREATE 
SERVER(7) PostgreSQL 9.2.7 Documentation CREATE SERVER(7) NAME
CREATE_SERVER - define a new foreign server SYNOPSIS
CREATE SERVER server_name [ TYPE 'server_type' ] [ VERSION 'server_version' ] FOREIGN DATA WRAPPER fdw_name [ OPTIONS ( option 'value' [, ... ] ) ] DESCRIPTION
CREATE SERVER defines a new foreign server. The user who defines the server becomes its owner. A foreign server typically encapsulates connection information that a foreign-data wrapper uses to access an external data resource. Additional user-specific connection information may be specified by means of user mappings. The server name must be unique within the database. Creating a server requires USAGE privilege on the foreign-data wrapper being used. PARAMETERS
server_name The name of the foreign server to be created. server_type Optional server type. server_version Optional server version. fdw_name The name of the foreign-data wrapper that manages the server. OPTIONS ( option 'value' [, ... ] ) This clause specifies the options for the server. The options typically define the connection details of the server, but the actual names and values are dependent on the server's foreign-data wrapper. NOTES
When using the dblink module (see dblink), the foreign server name can be used as an argument of the dblink_connect(3) function to indicate the connection parameters. See also there for more examples. It is necessary to have the USAGE privilege on the foreign server to be able to use it in this way. EXAMPLES
Create a server foo that uses the built-in foreign-data wrapper default: CREATE SERVER foo FOREIGN DATA WRAPPER "default"; Create a server myserver that uses the foreign-data wrapper pgsql: CREATE SERVER myserver FOREIGN DATA WRAPPER pgsql OPTIONS (host 'foo', dbname 'foodb', port '5432'); COMPATIBILITY
CREATE SERVER conforms to ISO/IEC 9075-9 (SQL/MED). SEE ALSO

CREATE USER 
MAPPING(7) SQL Commands CREATE USER MAPPING(7) NAME
CREATE USER MAPPING - define a new mapping of a user to a foreign server SYNOPSIS
CREATE USER MAPPING FOR { username | USER | CURRENT_USER | PUBLIC } SERVER servername [ OPTIONS ( option 'value' [ , ... ] ) ] DESCRIPTION
CREATE USER MAPPING defines a mapping of a user to a foreign server. A user mapping typically encapsulates connection information that a foreign-data wrapper uses together with the information encapsulated be a foreign server to access an external data resource. The owner of a foreign server can create user mappings for that server for any user. Also, a user can create a user mapping for his own user name if USAGE privilege on the server has been granted to the user. PARAMETERS
username The name of an existing user that is mapped to foreign server. CURRENT_USER and USER match the name of the current user. When PUB- LIC is specified, a so-called public mapping is created that is used when no user-specific mapping is applicable. servername The name of an existing server for which the user mapping is to be created. OPTIONS ( option 'value' [, ... ] ) This clause specifies the options of the user mapping. The options typically define the actual user name and password of the map- ping. Option names must be unique. The allowed option names and values are specific to the server's foreign-data wrapper. EXAMPLES
Create a user mapping for user bob, server foo: CREATE USER MAPPING FOR bob SERVER foo OPTIONS (user 'bob', password 'secret'); COMPATIBILITY
