It depends on your situation: If you already have a Postgres instance then the FDW is probably the easier solution.

Oh yeah that makes sense. I assumed the commenter was just looking for any system to run SQL over Parquet files. If you don't want to use this system that makes it easy, fair enough.

Be kind. Don't be snarky. Have curious conversation; don't cross-examine. Please don't fulminate. Please don't sneer, including at the rest of the community.

It didn't read unkind or snarky at all to me - just an amicable way of ending a thread of investigation where the result was a simple "a ha, I understand" moment.
