execute

PostgreSQL7.4.6 for Linux

==================================================================
Name

dblink_exec -- Executes an UPDATE/INSERT/DELETE on a remote database

Synopsis

dblink_exec(text connstr, text sql)
dblink_exec(text connname, text sql)
dblink_exec(text sql)

Inputs

  connname
  connstr
    If two arguments are present, the first is first assumed to be a specific
    connection name to use. If the name is not found, the argument is then
    assumed to be a valid connection string, of standard libpq format,
    e.g.: "hostaddr=127.0.0.1 dbname=mydb user=postgres password=mypasswd"

    If only one argument is used, then the unnamed connection is used.

  sql

    sql statement that you wish to execute on the remote host, e.g.:
       insert into foo values(0,'a','{"a0","b0","c0"}');

Outputs

  Returns status of the command

Notes
  1) dblink_open starts an explicit transaction. If, after using dblink_open,
     you use dblink_exec to change data, and then an error occurs or you use
     dblink_disconnect without a dblink_close first, your change *will* be
     lost.
