Postgres CAN read from parquet using parquet_fdw, and then you can import directly using "create table x as select" from the parquet foreign tables.

>Postgres can't read from S3, load from Parquet, or query parquet files.




This is true, but how many hosted postgres providers support it?


Surely that problem is best solved by pushing for support in base Postgres?

I think it would be great if postgres supported parquet out of the box. However I am not sure that this is the "best" solution - it would take years for the data load to finish if we had to wait for that!
