Hi.

I plan to extend file_fdw wrapper. I will add options to foreign
server: encoding, format, header, delimiter, dir.

+1 for existing options. Using foreign server options as default would
make definition of file_fdw foreign tables very simple. OTOH,
specification of new "dir" option needs to be clarified. Is it always
prefixed to filename option?

And i have some asks:
- it's better to change name of extension or not

IMO, no. Do you have any candidate?

- other suggestions

What about other format options such as escape and null?
