|
dblink_open -- Opens a cursor on a remote database
|
|
|
|
Synopsis
|
|
|
|
dblink_open(text cursorname, text sql)
|
|
|
|
Inputs
|
|
|
|
cursorname
|
|
|
|
a reference name for the cursor
|
|
|
|
sql
|
|
|
|
sql statement that you wish to execute on the remote host
|
|
e.g. "select * from pg_class"
|
|
|
|
Outputs
|
|
|
|
Returns status = "OK"
|
|
|
|
Note
|
|
1) dblink_connect(text connstr) must be executed first
|
|
2) dblink_open starts an explicit transaction. If, after using dblink_open,
|
|
you use dblink_exec to change data, and then an error occurs or you use
|
|
dblink_disconnect without a dblink_close first, your change *will* be
|
|
lost. Also, using dblink_close explicitly ends the transaction and thus
|
|
effectively closes *all* open cursors.
|
|
|
|
Example usage
|
|
|
|
test=# select dblink_connect('dbname=template1');
|
|
dblink_connect
|
|
