update data in different database
Hi,
is it possible to write a trigger, using pl/pgSQL, that updates tables in a different database than the one the trigger is called from? If it is, what is the syntax for calling the other database? My to databases are on the same server.
Regards Jonas:))

One way I can think of is using dblink from the contrib/
directory. It can be used to connect to another database from
within the one you are primarily connected to.

Look into the dblink package in the contrib directory of the source
distribution (or your contrib package)
