[Feature Request] \dx show "options"

Hi guys,

I was thinking that could be great to add a column in \dx showing the available
options for each foreign data wrapper.

Seems reasonable?

Sorry the spam guys,

it necesary the sme for index collations. They appear in "\d+ table"
but with "\di+"
it doesn't describe or show the collation. Maybe a column or in the
description field
could be enough.

\dx doesn't list foreign data wrappers.

\dew+ lists the actual options supplied to a foreign data wrapper already.

I was confused, forget it.

Checked, but the options doesn't appear (the column exists, but is empty).

postgres=# \dew+                               List of foreign-data wrappers  Name    |  Owner   |      Handler      |

Well, that just means that you didn't specify any options when you ran
CREATE FOREIGN DATA WRAPPER.

rhaas=# create foreign data wrapper dummy options (foo 'bar');
CREATE FOREIGN DATA WRAPPER
rhaas=# \dew+                           List of foreign-data wrappersName  | Owner | Handler | Validator | Access
privileges| FDW Options
 
| Description
-------+-------+---------+-----------+-------------------+-------------+-------------dummy | rhaas | -       | -
|                   | (foo 'bar') |
 
(1 row)

I'm not sure we're talking about the same thing, though.

No. I thought 'options' were the parameters when you create a fdw (example:
host, port, file, etc).

Each FDW can make its own decisions about which options it wants to
support - the core server support doesn't know anything about how the
data will be used.  You can set options on the FDW level, the server
level, the foreign table level, and maybe a few other places.
Normally I would expect things like host and port to be set on the
server level, rather than the foreign data wrapper level.

Gotcha. Thanks Robert! I must report to the fdw creator.
