Great. Congratulations.How big is the latency in the FDW? This opens up new possibilities using redis. Very cool.

I did do a benchmark in Golang to see the difference between redis-fdw, temp-table, and table:
SELECT:
Redis FDW: 240663 ns/op
TEMP TABLE: 1130329 ns/op
TABLE: 764774 ns/op
INSERT:
Redis FDW: 187788 ns/op
TEMP TABLE: 106843 ns/op
TABLE: 3093156 ns/op
redis-fdw is currently unoptimized (no table option caching, etc) so there is room for improvement. But so far so good.

Thanks for pointing this out. I had a small bug which didn't let it succeed, but now it's been fixed and committed; I've also added a bulkdata.sql test script in the code to show an example.Anyway, thx, compiled and installed (just for fun, i'm not familiar with
redis, and i'm not a coder)
Redis is great for session management as it allows you to set an expiry for each key. So by using redis_fdw, you don't need to do multiple queries to determine of the session is still valid. e.g.:
-- use a string (key-value) dataset for user sessions
CREATE FOREIGN TABLE rsessions(
sessid TEXT,
value TEXT,
expiry INT
) SERVER localredis
OPTIONS (tabletype 'string');
ALTER FOREIGN TABLE rsessions ALTER COLUMN sessid OPTIONS (ADD param 'key');
-- a user table in postgres, can contain a whole bunch of other fields.
CREATE TEMP TABLE users (
userid INT,
username TEXT,
sessid TEXT
);
--
-- get user's details at the same time as determining if they're session is still valid
--
WITH u AS (SELECT * FROM users WHERE username = 'foo')
SELECT u.*, r.value, r.expiry
FROM rsessions r, u
WHERE r.sessid = (SELECT u.sessid FROM u);
If the user's session is still valid then a row will be returned (Redis automatically destroys the key on expiry).
--
-- to reset the expiry timeout for the user
--
UPDATE rsessions SET expiry = 40 WHERE sessid = $1;
