External Tables in Mysql/Postgre

DB/SQL developers, what is the equivalent of Oracle External Tables<http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14215/et_concepts.htm>in PostgreSQL or MySQL (and it's forks)? I cant seem to get any on the net, probably coz they are implemented under a different name.
