It's a poor approximation of it, free or not. If it actually worked well, I'd be happy. It doesn't. No proper transaction support, no session pool, poor planning etc etc. At best its a band-aid, not something sufficiently good to recommend for general production use. FDWs are very good but aren't good enough for intra-database usage. -- Simon Riggs http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Training & Services -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
