Basically, dblink enables you to execute individual queries on a remote
PostgreSQL server via a function and use the results in a local query e.g.:

  SELECT *
      FROM dblink('myconn', 'SELECT aid, bid, abalance FROM
pgbench_accounts ORDER BY 1')

whereas a foreign data wrapper enables you to query relations on a remote
server (which can also be a data source other than PostgreSQL) directly
within the local query.
