A more convenient way to use dblink may be to create a view:
|
|
|
|
create view myremote_pg_proc as
|
|
select *
|
|
from dblink('dbname=template1','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%';
|
|
