davisp opened a new issue, #1393: URL: https://github.com/apache/datafusion-python/issues/1393
**Is your feature request related to a problem or challenge? Please describe what you are trying to do.** As a user I want to be able to extend datafusion-python with third party libraries. This support exists for many things such as table providers, user defined functions, and others. This issue is to expose the [new `FFI_TableProviderFactory`](https://github.com/apache/datafusion/pull/20326) in `datafusion-ffi`. **Describe the solution you'd like** Add support to SessionConfig to add TableProviderFactory support. Once registered it should allow for `ctx.sql("CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE ...")`. **Describe alternatives you've considered** None **Additional context** This is needed to allow third party libraries to expose `CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE` DDL support. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
