I think what would be better here, is to implement the management of
external data(SQL/MED) interface in FB. It is defined in SQL-2003(has
it's own document) and would permit anybody to develop their own
plug-ins to connect to their choice of external data file format.

I think it would be better to put that in the feature requests, than
each individual possible file formats, because the list could be
endless.
