And here we are back on the Babelfish question. Babelfish defines its
own protocol (TDS = Table Data Streaming) but it requires building
PostgreSQL from the source, with some hooks for the additional protocol.
A built in mechanism to do that without rebuilding would be nice.
Babelfish Postgres is version 13.5, currently the most prevalent version
in the data centers. A library to implement foreign communication
protocol primitives would be a very nice thing indeed.
