Hi,
while reading https://www.postgresql.org/docs/devel/postgres-fdw.html
<https://www.postgresql.org/docs/devel/postgres-fdw.html> I've noticed
that there is a single bracket on one line of the CREATE FOREIGN TABLE
example.
Browsing through other docs (e,g.
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/devel/sql-createtable.html
<https://www.postgresql.org/docs/devel/sql-createtable.html> ) there
doesn't seem to be a rule for that but if there is a single bracket
(e.g. CREATE TABLE distributors), the options that follow usually
start at position one and are not indented (or they follow directly
after the bracket).
The examples in file_fdw
(https://www.postgresql.org/docs/devel/file-fdw.html) follow a mix of
options which directly follow the bracket and on a new line.
Attached a small patch which makes it looking a bit better, at least
in my opinion.
Regards
Daniel
While looking through the patch, I noticed a small formatting issue in
the following part:
+)
+SERVER foreign_server
+OPTIONS (schema_name 'some_schema', table_name 'some_table');
The added +) line appears to have a trailing space after the closing
parenthesis.
