Writing a foreign data wrapper
Experiences with Informix
Writing a foreign data wrapper (FDW) for PostgreSQL seems easy. However, there are many pitfalls.
This talk will cover experiences from writing a FDW for Informix and will discuss problems with client libraries, data type mapping, optimizer support and performance related topics. Interested attendees will get a short overview on what they can expect from a FDW and (hopefully) learn something to do it better ;)
