Re: [HACKERS] PostgreSQL Backend as SW Gateway to Oracle

Hello Tom,

exactly what I think should be done first.

Build a clear interface between the parsing and I think the execution step
of the postgres backend to hook in own stuff to interface to an
arbritrary other database or even other implemention of the real
hard word of storing and getting the data.

Greetings,

armin
