>    All operations on a foreign table are handled through its foreign data
    wrapper, which consists of a set of functions that the core server
    calls.  The foreign data wrapper is responsible for fetching
    data from the remote data source and returning it to the
    <SPAN
CLASS="PRODUCTNAME"
>PostgreSQL</SPAN
> executor. This chapter outlines how
    to write a new foreign data wrapper.
   </P
><P
>    The foreign data wrappers included in the standard distribution are good
    references when trying to write your own.  Look into the
    <TT
CLASS="FILENAME"
>contrib/file_fdw</TT
> subdirectory of the source tree.
    The <A
HREF="sql-createforeigndatawrapper.html"
>CREATE FOREIGN DATA WRAPPER</A
> reference page also has
    some useful details.

>Note: </B
>     The SQL standard specifies an interface for writing foreign data wrappers.
     However, PostgreSQL does not implement that API, because the effort to
     accommodate it into PostgreSQL would be large, and the standard API hasn't
     gained wide adoption anyway.
