Use Dblink without column defination
Hi Team,
Appreciate your time to look into this.
To select from another database I try to use dblink or fdw extension of
Postgres, like this:
mesods =>CREATE EXTENSION dblink;
CREATE EXTENSION
mesods => CREATE EXTENSION postgres_fdw;
CREATE EXTENSION
mesods=> select dblink_connect('conn_db_link','foreign_server') ;
dblink_connect
----------------
OK
(1 row)
mesods=> select * from dblink('foreign_server','select * from ods_sch.emp')
AS x(a int,b text);
a | b
---+---------
1 | Gohan
1 | Piccolo
1 | Tien
(3 rows)
This works fine when I specify which columns I want to select.
Is there something that postgres has without specifying the column names we
can fetch the data from dblink.
Awaiting your reply.
Thank you.
Regards,
Chirag Karkera

Not in dblink. You could use foreign-data wrappers, which have a
different interface, which you might like better.
