SQL/MED
Doping for PostgreSQL
SQL/MED is Management of External Data, a part of the SQL standard that deals with how a database management system can integrate data stored outside the database. The implementation of this specification has begun in PostgreSQL 8.4 and will over time introduce powerful new features into PostgreSQL.
Applications of this feature set include linking to other database systems (PostgreSQL or others), configuring proxy servers, presenting XML or other structured data as SQL tables, and managing file system data through SQL.
This session will introduce the specification and interfaces, the current implementation plan, and will discuss applications and use cases.
