postgres_fdw now executes sorts, joins, updates, and deletes on the remote
server.
Though sort/join seems to be a different class than update/delete; possibly
warranting two sentences.
Enhanced federated database support via postgres_fdw: you can now execute
updates and deletes on the remote server. Furthermore, sorts and joins are
now executed remotely, reducing data transfer and improving speed.
Though, for me, "push down" is lot less cumbersome than "enhancing
federated database support"
The later sounds more geek than the former.
I could be a bit off as I haven't really delved into the feature. But I
suspect any inaccuracy would be a fair trade for simplicity in this
non-technical document.
