Well, ATM postgres_fdw shares connections across tables and queries; but my point is that that's all supposed to be transparent and invisible to the user. I don't want to have API features that make connections explicit, because I don't think that can be shoehorned into the FDW model without considerable strain and weird corner cases. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
