NAME

postmaster - PostgreSQL database server

SYNOPSIS

postmaster [ option... ]

DESCRIPTION

postmaster is a deprecated alias of postgres.

NAME

dblink_connect - opens a persistent connection to a remote database

SYNOPSIS

dblink_connect(text connstr) returns text
dblink_connect(text connname, text connstr) returns text

DESCRIPTION

dblink_connect() establishes a connection to a remote PostgreSQL database. The server and database to be contacted are identified through a standard libpq connection string. Optionally, a name can be assigned to the connection. Multiple named connections can be open at once, but only one unnamed connection is permitted at a time. The connection will persist until closed or until the database session is ended.

ARGUMENTS

conname: The name to use for this connection; if omitted, an unnamed connection is opened, replacing any existing unnamed connection.
connstr: libpq-style connection info string, for example hostaddr=127.0.0.1 port=5432 dbname=mydb user=postgres password=mypasswd. For details see PQconnectdb in in the documentation.

RETURN VALUE

Returns status, which is always OK (since any error causes the function to throw an error instead of returning).

NOTES

Only superusers may use dblink_connect to create non-password-authenticated connections. If non-superusers need this capability, use dblink_connect_u instead.

It is unwise to choose connection names that contain equal signs, as this opens a risk of confusion with connection info strings in other dblink functions.

EXAMPLE

select dblink_connect('dbname=postgres');: dblink_connect
---------------: OK
(1 row)
select dblink_connect('myconn', 'dbname=postgres');: dblink_connect
---------------: OK
(1 row)

NAME

dblink_connect_u - opens a persistent connection to a remote database, insecurely

SYNOPSIS

dblink_connect_u(text connstr) returns text
dblink_connect_u(text connname, text connstr) returns text

DESCRIPTION

dblink_connect_u() is identical to dblink_connect(), except that it will allow non-superusers to connect using any authentication method.

If the remote server selects an authentication method that does not involve a password, then impersonation and subsequent escalation of privileges can occur, because the session will appear to have originated from the user as which the local PostgreSQL server runs. Therefore, dblink_connect_u() is initially installed with all privileges revoked from PUBLIC, making it un-callable except by superusers. In some situations it may be appropriate to grant EXECUTE permission for dblink_connect_u() to specific users who are considered trustworthy, but this should be done with care.

For further details see dblink_connect().

NAME

dblink_disconnect - closes a persistent connection to a remote database

SYNOPSIS

dblink_disconnect() returns text
dblink_disconnect(text connname) returns text

DESCRIPTION

dblink_disconnect() closes a connection previously opened by dblink_connect(). The form with no arguments closes an unnamed connection.

ARGUMENTS

conname: The name of a named connection to be closed.

RETURN VALUE

Returns status, which is always OK (since any error causes the function to throw an error instead of returning).

EXAMPLE

test=# select dblink_disconnect();: dblink_disconnect
------------------: OK
(1 row)
select dblink_disconnect('myconn');: dblink_disconnect
------------------: OK
(1 row)

NAME

dblink - executes a query in a remote database

SYNOPSIS

dblink(text connname, text sql [, bool fail_on_error]) returns setof record
dblink(text connstr, text sql [, bool fail_on_error]) returns setof record
dblink(text sql [, bool fail_on_error]) returns setof record

DESCRIPTION

dblink executes a query (usually a SELECT, but it can be any SQL statement that returns rows) in a remote database.

When two text arguments are given, the first one is first looked up as a persistent connection's name; if found, the command is executed on that connection. If not found, the first argument is treated as a connection info string as for dblink_connect, and the indicated connection is made just for the duration of this command.

ARGUMENTS

conname: Name of the connection to use; omit this parameter to use the unnamed connection.
connstr: A connection info string, as previously described for dblink_connect.
sql The SQL query that you wish to execute in the remote database,: for example select * from foo.
fail_on_error: If true (the default when omitted) 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 reported as a NOTICE, and the function returns no rows.

RETURN VALUE

The function returns the row(s) produced by the query. Since dblink can be used with any query, it is declared to return record, rather than specifying any particular set of columns. This means that you must specify the expected set of columns in the calling query -- otherwise PostgreSQL would not know what to expect. Here is an example:

SELECT *: FROM dblink('dbname=mydb', 'select proname, prosrc from pg_proc')
AS t1(proname name, prosrc text); WHERE proname LIKE 'bytea%';
The ``alias'' part of the FROM clause must specify the column names and types that the function will return. (Specifying column names in an alias is actually standard SQL syntax, but specifying column types is a PostgreSQL extension.) This allows the system to understand what * should expand to, and what proname in the WHERE clause refers to, in advance of trying to execute the function. At runtime, an error will be thrown if the actual query result from the remote database does not have the same number of columns shown in the FROM clause. The column names need not match, however, and dblink does not insist on exact type matches either. It will succeed so long as the returned data strings are valid input for the column type declared in the FROM clause.

NOTES

dblink fetches the entire remote query result before returning any of it to the local system. If the query is expected to return a large number of rows, it's better to open it as a cursor with dblink_open and then fetch a manageable number of rows at a time.

A convenient way to use dblink with predetermined queries is to create a view. This allows the column type information to be buried in the view, instead of having to spell it out in every query. For example,: create view myremote_pg_proc as
select *
from dblink('dbname=postgres', 'select proname, prosrc from pg_proc') as t1(proname name, prosrc text);

select * from myremote_pg_proc where proname like 'bytea%';

EXAMPLE

select * from dblink('dbname=postgres', 'select proname, prosrc from pg_proc'): as t1(proname name, prosrc text) where proname like 'bytea%';

NAME

dblink_exec - executes a command in a remote database

SYNOPSIS

dblink_exec(text connname, text sql [, bool fail_on_error]) returns text
dblink_exec(text connstr, text sql [, bool fail_on_error]) returns text
dblink_exec(text sql [, bool fail_on_error]) returns text

DESCRIPTION

dblink_exec executes a command (that is, any SQL statement that doesn't return rows) in a remote database.

ARGUMENTS

conname: Name of the connection to use; omit this parameter to use the unnamed connection.
connstr: A connection info string, as previously described for dblink_connect.
sql The SQL command that you wish to execute in the remote database,: for example insert into foo values(0,'a','{"a0","b0","c0"}').
fail_on_error: If true (the default when omitted) 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 reported as a NOTICE, and the function's return value is set to ERROR.

RETURN VALUE

Returns status, either the command's status string or ERROR.

EXAMPLE

select dblink_connect('dbname=dblink_test_slave');: dblink_connect
---------------: OK
(1 row)
select dblink_exec('insert into foo values(21,''z'',''{"a0","b0","c0"}'');');: dblink_exec
----------------: INSERT 943366 1
(1 row)
select dblink_connect('myconn', 'dbname=regression');: dblink_connect
---------------: OK
(1 row)
select dblink_exec('myconn', 'insert into foo values(21,''z'',''{"a0","b0","c0"}'');');: dblink_exec
-----------------: INSERT 6432584 1
(1 row)
select dblink_exec('myconn', 'insert into pg_class values (''foo'')',false); NOTICE: sql error DETAIL: ERROR: null value in column "relnamespace" violates not-null constraint: dblink_exec
------------: ERROR

NAME

dblink_open - opens a cursor in a remote database

SYNOPSIS

dblink_open(text cursorname, text sql [, bool fail_on_error]) returns text
dblink_open(text connname, text cursorname, text sql [, bool fail_on_error]) returns text

DESCRIPTION

dblink_open() opens a cursor in a remote database. The cursor can subsequently be manipulated with dblink_fetch() and dblink_close().

ARGUMENTS

conname: Name of the connection to use; omit this parameter to use the unnamed connection.
cursorname: The name to assign to this cursor.
sql The SELECT statement that you wish to execute in the remote: database, for example select * from pg_class.
fail_on_error: If true (the default when omitted) 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 reported as a NOTICE, and the function's return value is set to ERROR.

RETURN VALUE

Returns status, either OK or ERROR.

NOTES

Since a cursor can only persist within a transaction, dblink_open starts an explicit transaction block (BEGIN) on the remote side, if the remote side was not already within a transaction. This transaction will be closed again when the matching dblink_close is executed. Note that if you use dblink_exec to change data between dblink_open and dblink_close, and then an error occurs or you use dblink_disconnect before dblink_close, your change will be lost because the transaction will be aborted.

EXAMPLE

test=# select dblink_connect('dbname=postgres');: dblink_connect
---------------: OK
(1 row)
test=# select dblink_open('foo', 'select proname, prosrc from pg_proc');: dblink_open
------------: OK
(1 row)

NAME

dblink_fetch - returns rows from an open cursor in a remote database

SYNOPSIS

dblink_fetch(text cursorname, int howmany [, bool fail_on_error]) returns setof record
dblink_fetch(text connname, text cursorname, int howmany [, bool fail_on_error]) returns setof record

DESCRIPTION

dblink_fetch fetches rows from a cursor previously established by dblink_open.

ARGUMENTS

conname: Name of the connection to use; omit this parameter to use the unnamed connection.
cursorname: The name of the cursor to fetch from.
howmany: The maximum number of rows to retrieve. The next howmany rows are fetched, starting at the current cursor position, moving forward. Once the cursor has reached its end, no more rows are produced.
fail_on_error: If true (the default when omitted) 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 reported as a NOTICE, and the function returns no rows.

RETURN VALUE

The function returns the row(s) fetched from the cursor. To use this function, you will need to specify the expected set of columns, as previously discussed for dblink.

NOTES

On a mismatch between the number of return columns specified in the FROM clause, and the actual number of columns returned by the remote cursor, an error will be thrown. In this event, the remote cursor is still advanced by as many rows as it would have been if the error had not occurred. The same is true for any other error occurring in the local query after the remote FETCH has been done.

EXAMPLE

test=# select dblink_connect('dbname=postgres');: dblink_connect
---------------: OK
(1 row)
test=# select dblink_open('foo', 'select proname, prosrc from pg_proc where proname like ''bytea%''');: dblink_open
------------: OK
(1 row)
test=# select * from dblink_fetch('foo', 5) as (funcname name, source text);: funcname | source

NAME

dblink_close - closes a cursor in a remote database

SYNOPSIS

dblink_close(text cursorname [, bool fail_on_error]) returns text
dblink_close(text connname, text cursorname [, bool fail_on_error]) returns text

DESCRIPTION

dblink_close closes a cursor previously opened with dblink_open.

ARGUMENTS

conname: Name of the connection to use; omit this parameter to use the unnamed connection.
cursorname: The name of the cursor to close.
fail_on_error: If true (the default when omitted) 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 reported as a NOTICE, and the function's return value is set to ERROR.

RETURN VALUE

Returns status, either OK or ERROR.

NOTES

If dblink_open started an explicit transaction block, and this is the last remaining open cursor in this connection, dblink_close will issue the matching COMMIT.

EXAMPLE

test=# select dblink_connect('dbname=postgres');: dblink_connect
---------------: OK
(1 row)
test=# select dblink_open('foo', 'select proname, prosrc from pg_proc');: dblink_open
------------: OK
(1 row)
test=# select dblink_close('foo');: dblink_close
-------------: OK
(1 row)

NAME

dblink_get_connections - returns the names of all open named dblink connections

SYNOPSIS

dblink_get_connections() returns text[]

DESCRIPTION

dblink_get_connections returns an array of the names of all open named dblink connections.

RETURN VALUE

Returns a text array of connection names, or NULL if none.

EXAMPLE

SELECT dblink_get_connections();

NAME

dblink_error_message - gets last error message on the named connection

SYNOPSIS

dblink_error_message(text connname) returns text

DESCRIPTION

dblink_error_message fetches the most recent remote error message for a given connection.

ARGUMENTS

conname: Name of the connection to use.

RETURN VALUE

Returns last error message, or an empty string if there has been no error in this connection.

EXAMPLE

SELECT dblink_error_message('dtest1');

NAME

dblink_send_query - sends an async query to a remote database

SYNOPSIS

dblink_send_query(text connname, text sql) returns int

DESCRIPTION

dblink_send_query sends a query to be executed asynchronously, that is, without immediately waiting for the result. There must not be an async query already in progress on the connection.

After successfully dispatching an async query, completion status can be checked with dblink_is_busy, and the results are ultimately collected with dblink_get_result. It is also possible to attempt to cancel an active async query using dblink_cancel_query.

ARGUMENTS

conname: Name of the connection to use.
sql The SQL statement that you wish to execute in the remote: database, for example select * from pg_class.

RETURN VALUE

Returns 1 if the query was successfully dispatched, 0 otherwise.

EXAMPLE

SELECT dblink_send_query('dtest1', 'SELECT * FROM foo WHERE f1 < 3');

NAME

dblink_is_busy - checks if connection is busy with an async query

SYNOPSIS

dblink_is_busy(text connname) returns int

DESCRIPTION

dblink_is_busy tests whether an async query is in progress.

ARGUMENTS

conname: Name of the connection to check.

RETURN VALUE

Returns 1 if connection is busy, 0 if it is not busy. If this function returns 0, it is guaranteed that dblink_get_result will not block.

EXAMPLE

SELECT dblink_is_busy('dtest1');

NAME

dblink_get_result - gets an async query result

SYNOPSIS

dblink_get_result(text connname [, bool fail_on_error]) returns setof record

DESCRIPTION

dblink_get_result collects the results of an asynchronous query previously sent with dblink_send_query. If the query is not already completed, dblink_get_result will wait until it is.

ARGUMENTS

conname: Name of the connection to use.
fail_on_error: If true (the default when omitted) 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 reported as a NOTICE, and the function returns no rows.

RETURN VALUE

For an async query (that is, a SQL statement returning rows), the function returns the row(s) produced by the query. To use this function, you will need to specify the expected set of columns, as previously discussed for dblink.

For an async command (that is, a SQL statement not returning rows), the function returns a single row with a single text column containing the command's status string. It is still necessary to specify that the result will have a single text column in the calling FROM clause.

NOTES

This function must be called if dblink_send_query returned 1. It must be called once for each query sent, and one additional time to obtain an empty set result, before the connection can be used again.

EXAMPLE

contrib_regression=# SELECT dblink_connect('dtest1', 'dbname=contrib_regression');: dblink_connect
---------------: OK
(1 row)
contrib_regression=# SELECT * from contrib_regression-# dblink_send_query('dtest1', 'select * from foo where f1 < 3') as t1;: t1
---: 1
(1 row)
contrib_regression=# SELECT * from dblink_get_result('dtest1') as t1(f1 int, f2 text, f3 text[]);: f1 | f2 | f3
----+----+-----------: 0 | a | {a0,b0,c0}
1 | b | {a1,b1,c1}
2 | c | {a2,b2,c2}
(3 rows)
contrib_regression=# SELECT * from dblink_get_result('dtest1') as t1(f1 int, f2 text, f3 text[]);: f1 | f2 | f3
----+----+---(0 rows)
contrib_regression=# SELECT * from: dblink_send_query('dtest1', 'select * from foo where f1 < 3; select * from foo where f1 > 6') as t1;

NAME

dblink_cancel_query - cancels any active query on the named connection

SYNOPSIS

dblink_cancel_query(text connname) returns text

DESCRIPTION

dblink_cancel_query attempts to cancel any query that is in progress on the named connection. Note that this is not certain to succeed (since, for example, the remote query might already have finished). A cancel request simply improves the odds that the query will fail soon. You must still complete the normal query protocol, for example by calling dblink_get_result.

ARGUMENTS

conname: Name of the connection to use.

RETURN VALUE

Returns OK if the cancel request has been sent, or the text of an error message on failure.

EXAMPLE

SELECT dblink_cancel_query('dtest1');

NAME

dblink_current_query - returns the current query string

SYNOPSIS

dblink_current_query() returns text

DESCRIPTION

Returns the currently executing interactive command string of the local database session, or NULL if it can't be determined. Note that this function is not really related to dblink's other functionality. It is provided since it is sometimes useful in generating queries to be forwarded to remote databases.

RETURN VALUE

Returns a copy of the currently executing query string.

EXAMPLE

test=# select dblink_current_query();: dblink_current_query
-------------------------------: select dblink_current_query();
(1 row)

NAME

dblink_get_pkey - returns the positions and field names of a relation's primary key fields

SYNOPSIS

dblink_get_pkey(text relname) returns setof dblink_pkey_results

DESCRIPTION

dblink_get_pkey provides information about the primary key of a relation in the local database. This is sometimes useful in generating queries to be sent to remote databases.

ARGUMENTS

relname: Name of a local relation, for example foo or myschema.mytab. Include double quotes if the name is mixed-case or contains special characters, for example "FooBar"; without quotes, the string will be folded to lower case.

RETURN VALUE

Returns one row for each primary key field, or no rows if the relation has no primary key. The result rowtype is defined as

CREATE TYPE dblink_pkey_results AS (position int, colname text);

EXAMPLE

test=# create table foobar(f1 int, f2 int, f3 int, test(# primary key(f1,f2,f3)); CREATE TABLE test=# select * from dblink_get_pkey('foobar');: position | colname
----------+--------: 1 | f1
2 | f2
3 | f3
(3 rows)

NAME

dblink_build_sql_insert - builds an INSERT statement using a local tuple, replacing the primary key field values with alternative supplied values

SYNOPSIS

dblink_build_sql_insert(text relname,
                        int2vector primary_key_attnums,
                        int2 num_primary_key_atts,
                        text[] src_pk_att_vals_array,
                        text[] tgt_pk_att_vals_array) returns text

DESCRIPTION

dblink_build_sql_insert can be useful in doing selective replication of a local table to a remote database. It selects a row from the local table based on primary key, and then builds a SQL INSERT command that will duplicate that row, but with the primary key values replaced by the values in the last argument. (To make an exact copy of the row, just specify the same values for the last two arguments.)

ARGUMENTS

relname: Name of a local relation, for example foo or myschema.mytab. Include double quotes if the name is mixed-case or contains special characters, for example "FooBar"; without quotes, the string will be folded to lower case.
primary_key_attnums: Attribute numbers (1-based) of the primary key fields, for example 1 2.
num_primary_key_atts: The number of primary key fields.
src_pk_att_vals_array: Values of the primary key fields to be used to look up the local tuple. Each field is represented in text form. An error is thrown if there is no local row with these primary key values.
tgt_pk_att_vals_array: Values of the primary key fields to be placed in the resulting INSERT command. Each field is represented in text form.

RETURN VALUE

Returns the requested SQL statement as text.

EXAMPLE

test=# select dblink_build_sql_insert('foo', '1 2', 2, '{"1", "a"}', '{"1", "b''a"}');: dblink_build_sql_insert
-------------------------------------------------: INSERT INTO foo(f1,f2,f3) VALUES('1','b''a','1')
(1 row)

NAME

dblink_build_sql_delete - builds a DELETE statement using supplied values for primary key field values

SYNOPSIS

dblink_build_sql_delete(text relname,
                        int2vector primary_key_attnums,
                        int2 num_primary_key_atts,
                        text[] tgt_pk_att_vals_array) returns text

DESCRIPTION

dblink_build_sql_delete can be useful in doing selective replication of a local table to a remote database. It builds a SQL DELETE command that will delete the row with the given primary key values.

ARGUMENTS

relname: Name of a local relation, for example foo or myschema.mytab. Include double quotes if the name is mixed-case or contains special characters, for example "FooBar"; without quotes, the string will be folded to lower case.
primary_key_attnums: Attribute numbers (1-based) of the primary key fields, for example 1 2.
num_primary_key_atts: The number of primary key fields.
tgt_pk_att_vals_array: Values of the primary key fields to be used in the resulting DELETE command. Each field is represented in text form.

RETURN VALUE

Returns the requested SQL statement as text.

EXAMPLE

test=# select dblink_build_sql_delete('"MyFoo"', '1 2', 2, '{"1", "b"}');: dblink_build_sql_delete
--------------------------------------------: DELETE FROM "MyFoo" WHERE f1='1' AND f2='b'
(1 row)

NAME

dblink_build_sql_update - builds an UPDATE statement using a local tuple, replacing the primary key field values with alternative supplied values

SYNOPSIS

dblink_build_sql_update(text relname,
                        int2vector primary_key_attnums,
                        int2 num_primary_key_atts,
                        text[] src_pk_att_vals_array,
                        text[] tgt_pk_att_vals_array) returns text

DESCRIPTION

dblink_build_sql_update can be useful in doing selective replication of a local table to a remote database. It selects a row from the local table based on primary key, and then builds a SQL UPDATE command that will duplicate that row, but with the primary key values replaced by the values in the last argument. (To make an exact copy of the row, just specify the same values for the last two arguments.) The UPDATE command always assigns all fields of the row -- the main difference between this and dblink_build_sql_insert is that it's assumed that the target row already exists in the remote table.

ARGUMENTS

relname: Name of a local relation, for example foo or myschema.mytab. Include double quotes if the name is mixed-case or contains special characters, for example "FooBar"; without quotes, the string will be folded to lower case.
primary_key_attnums: Attribute numbers (1-based) of the primary key fields, for example 1 2.
num_primary_key_atts: The number of primary key fields.
src_pk_att_vals_array: Values of the primary key fields to be used to look up the local tuple. Each field is represented in text form. An error is thrown if there is no local row with these primary key values.
tgt_pk_att_vals_array: Values of the primary key fields to be placed in the resulting UPDATE command. Each field is represented in text form.

RETURN VALUE

Returns the requested SQL statement as text.

EXAMPLE

test=# select dblink_build_sql_update('foo', '1 2', 2, '{"1", "a"}', '{"1", "b"}');: dblink_build_sql_update
------------------------------------------------------------: UPDATE foo SET f1='1',f2='b',f3='1' WHERE f1='1' AND f2='b'
