NOTE: If you need to provide selection criteria in a WHERE clause, it is necessary A more convenient way to use dblink may be to create a view:
to 'fake' a UNION, e.g.
select
dblink_tok(t1.dblink_p,0) as f1
,dblink_tok(t1.dblink_p,1) as f2
from
(
select dblink(
'hostaddr=127.0.0.1 port=5432 dbname=mydb user=postgres password=mypasswd'
,'select f1, f2 from mytable'
) as dblink_p
union all
select null where false
) as t1
where
dblink_tok(t1.dblink_p,0) = 'mycriteria';
in order to work around an issue with the query optimizer. A more convenient way to approach
this problem is to create a view:
create view myremotetable as create view myremotetable as
select select dblink_tok(t1.dblink_p,0) as f1, dblink_tok(t1.dblink_p,1) as f2
dblink_tok(t1.dblink_p,0) as f1 from (select dblink('hostaddr=127.0.0.1 port=5432 dbname=template1 user=postgres password=postgres'
,dblink_tok(t1.dblink_p,1) as f2 ,'select proname, prosrc from pg_proc') as dblink_p) as t1;
from
(
select dblink(
'hostaddr=127.0.0.1 port=5432 dbname=mydb user=postgres password=mypasswd'
,'select f1, f2 from mytable'
) as dblink_p
union all
select null where false
) as t1;
Then you can simply write: Then you can simply write:
select f1,f2 from myremotetable where f1 = 'mycriteria'; select f1, f2 from myremotetable where f1 like 'bytea%';
