Multicorn technology allows you to develop FDWs in Python, which is much easier and faster than creating FDWs in C. However, there is a downside, Multicorn FDWs work well with primitive WHERE conditions, but more complex cases cause difficulties, which I will talk about. Cases will be considered on the example of my Multicorn FDW for getting OpenStreetMap data. I will also show examples of using the same code in Multicorn FDW and plpython functions, including performance comparison. In conclusion, I will share my findings on when it is better to use plpython, and when Multicorn FDW is more preferable.
