The basic objective is to expose the JDBC to postgres for grabbing external data. FDW is a C API and JDBC is java routines so the main challenge is to figure out how to jump from a FDW call into java. pl/java is one way to solve that problem. Once done, you should be able to FDW to any jdbc supporting data source, which is basically everything. merlin -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
