[Postgres-xc-general] Does Postgres-XC support parallel query and foreign table?

[MauMau <mau...@gm...>]

Hello,

I'm very interested in the evolution of Postgres-XC as a data warehouse 
infrastructure. Thank you for your great job. Please let me ask you some 
questions.

1.What kind of SELECT statements does the current Postgres-XC process in 
parallel on multiple nodes? I mean I'd like to know if a single query can be 
broken into pieces and processed in parallel on different nodes. To be more 
concrete, does the following simple query become faster as the number of 
nodes increases?

SELECT SUM(some_column) FROM some_table [WHERE ...];

2.Does the foreign table feature of PostgreSQL 9.1 work with Postgres-XC? If 
it doesn't currently, do you have any plan?
