doc: Add example for how to set file_fdw column option

danielgustafsson · danielgustafsson · commit 51908a37d7ea · 2023-09-18T14:59:16.000+02:00
The documentation is pretty light on how to set column options on foreign tables, and the file_fdw docs refer to COPY when documenting force_null even though it's not used in the same way. Add a small example to describe how to use it. Reported-by: Boshomi Phenix <boshomi@gmail.com> Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CAJVkCUparn4_Oarernm=U6LWVsTkecKcALHtwGr5M3qJRj_czw@mail.gmail.com
