I’ve posted on GitHub a simple writable FWD example for WhiteDB (WDB), which is a project that stores data in shared memory (see ). The only difference is that support for writes requires a few additional callback functions.

So let’s dig into how to implement an FDW… Example Implementation: WhiteDBįDWs come in two main forms: writable and read only. Hopefully this primer will help make things easier. So far the biggest hurdle that aspiring PostgreSQL hackers face in writing FDWs of their own is the lack of documentation the best documentation has typically been the actual FDW implementations. Queries run in parallel across the cluster(s), with multi-tenancy features like rate-limiting and “query fragment” caching that are critical for our use cases but aren’t found in PG itself. Kentik Detect supports multi-petabyte datastores spread across tens or hundred of nodes, but to users these stores look like SELECTs from normal PG tables.

They also allow us to simplify some sections of the code by relying on PG’s ability to combine multiple result sets. We use FDWs this way at Kentik as part of the Kentik Data Engine (KDE) that powers Kentik Detect, the massively scalable big data-based SaaS for network visibility.įDWs enable Kentik Detect to use SQL-compatible syntax and to take advantage of PostgreSQL’s authentication, SSL, and libpsql functionality. In this primer we’ll show how to use FDWs to front-end your own datastores, and to allow JOINs with native PG data and data stored in other FDW-accessible systems. A mostly complete list of implementations is available from the PostgreSQL Wiki.įDWs are implemented using callback functions. They provide access to key:value stores like MongoDB, to ACID guarantees when accessing remote MySQL or PostgreSQL servers, and to web services like Twitter and Philips Hue smart light bulbs. Leveraging PostgreSQL’s support for ANSI SQL and secure client libraries like JDBC and ODBC, FDWs in PG support a wide range of applications. FDW backends can be a surprisingly powerful tool when your data model isn’t classically relational but you still want all the nice things that come with PostgreSQL (aggregates, client libraries, authentication, group by, etc.). In PostgreSQL, this capability is provided by Foreign Data Wrappers (FDWs), which support pluggable data backends. Relational databases like PostgreSQL (PG) have long been dominant for data storage and access, but sometimes you need access from your application to data that’s either in a different database format, in a non-relational database, or not in a database at all. This how-to looks at using the Foreign Data Wrapper feature of PostgreSQL to enable access from your application to data that’s not in a PostgreSQL relational datastore.
