UsageΒΆ

The multicorn foreign data wrapper is not different from other foreign data wrappers.

To use it, you have to:

  • Create the extension in the target database. As a PostgreSQL super user, run the following SQL:

    CREATE EXTENSION multicorn;
    
  • Create a server. In the SQL OPTIONS clause, you must provide an options named wrapper, containing the fully-qualified class name of the concrete python foreign data wrapper you wish to use. want to use:

    CREATE SERVER multicorn_imap FOREIGN DATA WRAPPER multicorn
    options (
      wrapper 'multicorn.imapfdw.ImapFdw'
    );
    

You can then proceed on with the actual foreign tables creation, and pass them the needed options.

Each foreign data wrapper supports its own set of options, and may interpret the columns definitions differently.

You should look at the documentation for the specific Foreign Data Wraper documentation
