Hi all,
It's probably me not understanding what is being claimed, but on
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.4/static/features.html it says
PostgreSQL core covers ISO/IEC 9075-9 Management of External Data
(SQL/MED). I'm aware the actual SQL/MED functionality isn't
implemented yet. Is this purely to do with the provision of foreign
data wrappers, creating servers etc?

Yes, "only" the infrastructure. Foreign Data Wrappers, Servers, and User
Mappings are in 8.4. dblink is already able to use these IIRC.

Okay, as long as it's not a bogus claim. :)
Thanks

Maybe "cover" isn't the right verb. It's about what is in scope and
what is not.
