MonetDB_fdw

MonetDB_fdw is a PostgreSQL extension based on Foreign Data Wrapper (FDW) technology, which can enhance PostgreSQL analytical capabilities.

The work based on the excellent oracle_fdw (https://github.com/laurenz/oracle_fdw.git) & postgres_fdw (https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/postgres-fdw.html) projects.

Supported OS & Database Versions

• RHEL 8/9, CentOS 8/9，Ubuntu
• Halo 1.0.14, 1.0.16
• PostgreSQL 14, 15, 16, 17, 18
• MonetDB 11.56

Cookbook

Installation

• Build as PGXS

export USE_PGXS=1
export MONETDB_HOME=<MonetDB installation path>
export PATH=$MONETDB_HOME/bin:$PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$MONETDB_HOME/lib64:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
git clone https://github.com/HaloTech-Co-Ltd/MonetDB_fdw.git
cd MonetDB_fdw
make && make install

• Build in a source tree of PostgreSQL

export MONETDB_HOME=<MonetDB installation path>
export PATH=$MONETDB_HOME/bin:$PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$MONETDB_HOME/lib64:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
git clone https://github.com/HaloTech-Co-Ltd/MonetDB_fdw.git <PostgreSQL contrib source path>
cd <PostgreSQL contrib source path>/MonetDB_fdw
make && make install

Quick Tutorial

• Create MonetDB_fdw extension

CREATE EXTENSION monetdb_fdw;

• Create foreign server

CREATE SERVER foreign_server FOREIGN DATA WRAPPER monetdb_fdw
OPTIONS (host '127.0.0.1', port '50000', dbname 'test');

• Create user mapping

CREATE USER MAPPING FOR CURRENT_USER SERVER foreign_server OPTIONS (user 'zm', password 'zm');

• Create table (emp for a example) in MonetDB using monetdb_execute function

SELECT monetdb_execute('foreign_server', $$CREATE TABLE emp(
        name VARCHAR(20),
        age INTEGER
)$$);

• Create foreign table

CREATE FOREIGN TABLE emp(
        name VARCHAR(20),
        age INTEGER
)
SERVER foreign_server
OPTIONS (schema_name 'zm', table_name 'emp');

• Now you can query the MonetDB emp table in PostgreSQL

SELECT count(*) FROM emp;

• NOTE: you can IMPORT FOREIGN SCHEMA to create foreign table for convenient

DROP FOREIGN TABLE emp;
IMPORT FOREIGN SCHEMA "zm" limit to (emp) from server foreign_server into public;

Supported Operations

• INSERT
• DELETE
• UPDATE
• SELECT
• COPY
• TRUNCATE
• EXPLAIN
• IMPORT FOREIGN SCHEMA
