Name
dblink -- Returns a set from a remote database
Synopsis
dblink(text connstr, text sql [, bool fail_on_error])
dblink(text connname, text sql [, bool fail_on_error])
dblink(text sql [, bool fail_on_error])
Inputs
connname
connstr
If two arguments are present, the first is first assumed to be a specific
connection name to use. If the name is not found, the argument is then
assumed to be a valid connection string, of standard libpq format,
e.g.: "hostaddr=127.0.0.1 dbname=mydb user=postgres password=mypasswd"
If only one argument is used, then the unnamed connection is used.
sql
sql statement that you wish to execute on the remote host
e.g. "select * from pg_class"
fail_on_error
If true (default when not present) then an ERROR thrown on the remote side
of the connection causes an ERROR to also be thrown locally. If false, the
remote ERROR is locally treated as a NOTICE, and no rows are returned.
Outputs
Returns setof record
Example usage
select * from dblink('dbname=postgres','select proname, prosrc from pg_proc')
as t1(proname name, prosrc text) where proname like 'bytea%';
proname | prosrc
------------+------------
byteacat | byteacat
byteaeq | byteaeq
bytealt | bytealt
byteale | byteale
byteagt | byteagt
byteage | byteage
byteane | byteane
byteacmp | byteacmp
bytealike | bytealike
byteanlike | byteanlike

(12 rows)
select dblink_connect('dbname=postgres');

==================================================================
A more convenient way to use dblink may be to create a view:
create view myremote_pg_proc as
select *
from dblink('dbname=postgres','select proname, prosrc from pg_proc')
as t1(proname name, prosrc text);
Then you can simply write:
select * from myremote_pg_proc where proname like 'bytea%';
==================================================================
Name
dblink_send_query -- Sends an async query to a remote database
Synopsis
dblink_send_query(text connname, text sql)
Inputs
connname
The specific connection name to use.
sql
sql statement that you wish to execute on the remote host
e.g. "select * from pg_class"
Outputs
Returns int. A return value of 1 if the query was successfully dispatched,
0 otherwise. If 1, results must be fetched by dblink_get_result(connname).
A running query may be cancelled by dblink_cancel_query(connname).
Example usage
SELECT dblink_connect('dtest1', 'dbname=contrib_regression');
SELECT * from
dblink_send_query('dtest1', 'select * from foo where f1 < 3') as t1;
==================================================================
Name
dblink_get_result -- Gets an async query result
Synopsis
dblink_get_result(text connname [, bool fail_on_error])
Inputs
connname
The specific connection name to use. An asynchronous query must
have already been sent using dblink_send_query()
fail_on_error
If true (default when not present) then an ERROR thrown on the remote side
of the connection causes an ERROR to also be thrown locally. If false, the
remote ERROR is locally treated as a NOTICE, and no rows are returned.
Outputs
Returns setof record
Notes
Blocks until a result gets available.
This function *must* be called if dblink_send_query returned
a 1, even on cancelled queries - otherwise the connection
can't be used anymore. It must be called once for each query
sent, and one additional time to obtain an empty set result,
prior to using the connection again.
