We don't usually document required keywords - they're just required. We do document the meaning of server_name, which I think is probably what you were after. -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company

Maybe the inclusion of a link to "CREATE SERVER" http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.1/static/sql-createserver.html in the server_name definition would be helpful, just like in the data_type line. I was having trouble making the leap since the idea was a new one on me. different topic 1: When I put the word "foreign" in the search area on this page http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.1/static/index.html it does not find create foreign table. different topic 2: Is there a way to know what chapter you are in when on any page of the docs? Maybe add to the navigation line at the top: Home -> Documentation -> Manuals -> PostgreSQL 9.1 -> PUT YOUR CHAPTER HERE? like this: Home -> Documentation -> Manuals -> PostgreSQL 9.1 -> I.

Yes. AFAICT, somehow that search has become hopelessly broken. It doesn't seem to find anything. I am pretty sure that it did before. > different topic 2: > > Is there a way to know what chapter you are in when on any page of the docs? > Maybe add to the navigation line at the top: > > Home -> Documentation -> Manuals -> PostgreSQL 9.1 -> PUT YOUR CHAPTER HERE? > > like this: > > Home -> Documentation -> Manuals -> PostgreSQL 9.1 -> I. SQL Commands That's not a bad idea either. -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company
