PostgreSQL Table Options

 

PostgreSQL offers 2 table types: Standard and Foreign.

 

Table Type

Description

Standard

A normal table resides in the database in the specified tablespace.

 

Foreign

A foreign table is a table on another database server, linked via a Remote Server registration. It maps to an existing table.

 

Standard Table Options

Besides a primary key name, the tablespace (you can also set a specific tablespace when you create the database, but this can be overridden at the table level), and "fill factor", you can also use custom auto-vacuum options for each table.

 

Use the Use custom auto-vacuum options checkbox to override the default options.

 

Foreign Table Options

 

 

In order to create a mapping to a foreign table, you need to specify a remote server, registered for this database, and additional options, that are remote server provider specific.
