Re: How to insert into another db instance in

Thank you.
    I have tried and confirmed the dblink solution. Since we are already
using 7.3, upgrading was not an issue.

You probably want to look at the dblink package in contrib/dblink.
Alternatively, you'd have to do it with a daemon application LISTENing
for
messages from your trigger.
Alternatively, you could use schemas in 7.3 to make it look like you
have two
databases.

Option 1 seems to be what you're after. I think 7.3 dblink has had some
reworking, so if you can upgrade first that might be an idea.
