Abandoned project?

[nboullis]

Hi,

As far as I can see, this project hasn’t been updated for 8 years and it looks like the two issues that where opened in 2015 haven’t been investigated much.
I just checked and, as one could expect, it fails to build against PostgreSQL 13.
However, as far as I can see, it would look like a nice feature to have to be able to query a pg_dumped database through this foreign data wrapper.
Is there a reason why this project was abandoned?
Note that it is still referenced in https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Foreign_data_wrappers.

Hey @nboullis - this was abandoned mainly because I was the only person working on it, and I ended up switching roles and not having the time. It was developed for a specific use case, which it worked fine for. That didn't account for corner cases at all, which I expected people to run into and, hopefully, send a PR to fix. Nowadays, however, it would be pretty easy to write a newer one that uses pgdumplib via multicorn.
