Thread: Management of External Data (SQL/MED) in core?
Hi all, It's probably me not understanding what is being claimed, but on http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.4/static/features.html it says PostgreSQL core covers ISO/IEC 9075-9 Management of External Data (SQL/MED). I'm aware the actual SQL/MED functionality isn't implemented yet. Is this purely to do with the provision of foreign data wrappers, creating servers etc? Thom

Foreign Data Wrappers, Servers, and User Mappings are in 8.4. dblink is already able to use these IIRC. -- Guillaume http://www.postgresql.fr http://dalibo.com

It's about what is in scope and what is not.
