Several statements need to reference the current connection's current database name and current port value. Until now, this has been accomplished by creating dynamic SQL statements inside of a DO block, which is not as easy to parse. It also takes away some of the granularity of any error messages that might occur, making debugging harder. By capturing the connection-specific settings into psql variables, it becomes possible to write simpler SQL statements for the FDW objects. This eliminates most of DO blocks used in this test, making it a bit more readable and shorter.

The PostgreSQL contrib tree --------------------------- This subtree contains porting tools, analysis utilities, and plug-in features that are not part of the core PostgreSQL system, mainly because they address a limited audience or are too experimental to be part of the main source tree. This does not preclude their usefulness. User documentation for each module appears in the main SGML documentation. When building from the source distribution, these modules are not built automatically, unless you build the "world" target. You can also build and install them all by running "make all" and "make install" in this directory; or to build and install just one selected module, do the same in that module's subdirectory. Some directories supply new user-defined functions, operators, or types. To make use of one of these modules, after you have installed the code you need to register the new SQL objects in the database system by executing a CREATE EXTENSION command. In a fresh database, you can simply do CREATE EXTENSION module_name; See the PostgreSQL documentation for more information about this procedure.
