I am interested in this feature. Two things of note: - The example featured [here](https://airflow.apache.org/docs/apache-airflow-providers-postgres/stable/_modules/airflow/providers/postgres/example_dags/example_postgres.html), doesn't make a lot of sense without this feature. If an Operator that pulls data, can't pass it's values via xcom or write to a file what's the point? Is the intent to inherit from the `PostgresOperator` when using it for reads to store the data where you need it? I suppose that's a question for the original author of the operator. - I've seen comments to the effect of "Airflow is not a data processing platform so you shouldn't read from DBs", missing the point that just because I am reading from a database doesn't mean I am trying to grab a ton of data, just some data in that has a known schema perhaps stored by a previous DAG. If this has gotten stale, I am happy to handle this issue. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
