dblink_tok -- Returns individual select field results from a dblink remote query
Synopsis
dblink_tok(int res_id, int fnumber)
Inputs
res_id
a resource id returned by a call to dblink()
fnumber
the ordinal position (zero based) of the field to be returned from the dblink result set
Outputs
Returns text
Example usage
select dblink_tok(t1.dblink_p,0) as f1, dblink_tok(t1.dblink_p,1) as f2
from (select dblink('hostaddr=127.0.0.1 port=5432 dbname=mydb user=postgres password=mypasswd'
,'select f1, f2 from mytable') as dblink_p) as t1;
==================================================================
*DEPRECATED* use new dblink syntax
A more convenient way to use dblink may be to create a view:
create view myremotetable as
select dblink_tok(t1.dblink_p,0) as f1, dblink_tok(t1.dblink_p,1) as f2
from (select dblink('hostaddr=127.0.0.1 port=5432 dbname=template1 user=postgres password=postgres'
,'select proname, prosrc from pg_proc') as dblink_p) as t1;
Then you can simply write:
select f1, f2 from myremotetable where f1 like 'bytea%';
==================================================================
Name
*DEPRECATED* use new dblink_exec syntax
dblink_last_oid -- Returns last inserted oid

test=# select dblink_last_oid(dblink('hostaddr=127.0.0.1 port=5432 dbname=mydb user=postgres password=mypasswd'
,'insert into mytable (f1, f2) values (1,2)'));
