NAME
       CREATE USER MAPPING - define a new mapping of a user to a foreign server


SYNOPSIS
       CREATE USER MAPPING FOR { username | USER | CURRENT_USER | PUBLIC }
           SERVER servername
           [ OPTIONS ( option 'value' [ , ... ] ) ]


DESCRIPTION
       CREATE  USER  MAPPING  defines  a mapping of a user to a foreign server. A user mapping typically encapsulates connection
       information that a foreign-data wrapper uses together with the information encapsulated by a foreign server to access  an
       external data resource.

       The  owner of a foreign server can create user mappings for that server for any user. Also, a user can create a user map-
       ping for his own user name if USAGE privilege on the server has been granted to the user.

PARAMETERS
       username
              The name of an existing user that is mapped to foreign server.  CURRENT_USER and USER match the name of  the  cur-
              rent user. When PUBLIC is specified, a so-called public mapping is created that is used when no user-specific map-
              ping is applicable.

       servername
              The name of an existing server for which the user mapping is to be created.

       OPTIONS ( option 'value' [, ... ] )
              This clause specifies the options of the user mapping. The options typically define the actual user name and pass-
              word of the mapping. Option names must be unique. The allowed option names and values are specific to the server's
              foreign-data wrapper.

EXAMPLES
       Create a user mapping for user bob, server foo:

       CREATE USER MAPPING FOR bob SERVER foo OPTIONS (user 'bob', password 'secret');


COMPATIBILITY
       CREATE USER MAPPING conforms to ISO/IEC 9075-9 (SQL/MED).
