Обсуждение: DB Links in Postgres?
The use of Dblink would be very helpful in our application. From my
research so far, I found that PostgreSQL does not support DB links.
Could you confirm? And if true, is that something on the todo list.
Also, how stable is the code in the contrib/ to use in production
environments. Is code in contrib stable and matured? And what makes
certain code candidate to be in contrib? (The reason I'm asking is that
I found that there's dblink code in contrib/dblink)..
Thanks in advance,

Of course, _good_ is a relative term. :-) -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us pgman@candle.pha.pa.us | (610) 359-1001 + If your life is a hard drive, | 13 Roberts Road + Christ can be your backup. | Newtown Square, Pennsylvania 19073
