# pg_foreign_table

The system catalog table `pg_foreign_table` contains auxiliary information about foreign tables. A foreign table is primarily represented by a pg_class entry, just like a regular table. Its `pg_foreign_table` entry contains the information that is pertinent only to foreign tables and not any other kind of relation.
