CREATE SERVER(7)		 SQL Commands		      CREATE SERVER(7)

NAME
       CREATE SERVER - define a new foreign server

SYNOPSIS
       CREATE SERVER servername [ TYPE 'servertype' ] [ VERSION 'serverversion' ]
	   FOREIGN DATA WRAPPER fdwname
	   [ 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.	 Addi‐
       tional 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
       servername
	      The name of the foreign server to be created.

       servertype
	      Optional server type.

       serverversion
	      Optional server version.

       fdwname
	      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 in the documentation), the foreign
       server name can be used as an argument of the  dblink_connect(l)	 func‐
       tion  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).
