The basic objective is to expose the JDBC to postgres for grabbing
external data. FDW is a C API and JDBC is java routines so the main
challenge is to figure out how to jump from a FDW call into java.
pl/java is one way to solve that problem.
Once done, you should be able to FDW to any jdbc supporting data
source, which is basically everything.
