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).
