Hi all, I would like to mention about generating Foreign Data Wrappers(FDW) on PostgreSQL 9.6. FDW is used for remote access to tables from external data storage. If needed to use remote table in a query, you can use FDW tables. For instance you can get a table from remote database, but there is a condition. The condition is that user should have proper privileges on FDW table. There is two extension for FDW on PostgreSQL. First one is used for accessing PostgreSQL database to PostgreSQL database, called postgres_fdw . Second one is used for accessing PostgreSQL database to different databases (SQL Server, Sysbase) called tds_fdw . Foreign Data Wrappers feature lets you to cross-query between remote database tables. Postgres_fdw and tds_fdw has different structure. Tds_fdw usign Tabular Data Stream application layer protocol to transfer data between database server and client. Generating Tds_fdw and Postgres_fdw is similar. I share an example for generating FDW between two Po
