SQL/MED is the new frontier of PostgreSQL ! Since the release of PostgreSQL 9.1, we see lots of Foreign Data Wrappers (FDW) coming out, giving you the ability to connect your database with multiple data sources : local files, other RDMS, NoSQL stores, webservices, etc. The primary language to write a FDW is C. But a recent extension called "Multicorn" makes Foreign Data Wrapper development easy, by allowing the programmer to use the Python programming language. This talks will : * Explain the basics of SQL/MED * Give an overview of the various existing Foreign Data Wrappers * Show how to code a wrapper in a blink of en eye with multicorn
