Re: dblink without running the full query remotely?

[M Sarwar <sarwarmd02@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Probably this is neither possible in Oracle nor in Postgres.

If you are willing to take a complex route, Postgres will allow you to point to PUBLIC  schema where you will need to export the objects at least once for each schema from the source environment.

I hope that I am not slipping any thing.

Thanks,

Thanks, this it exactly.

Correlated, is there a way to define a fdw user mapping for a role versus for every single individual user in a database?

No, and it's unlikely anyone would ever put effort into making dblink
do that, because the newer foreign table (FDW) code *does* handle that
sort of thing.  dblink still has its uses, but it's pretty much at a
dead end developmentally.  Take a look at postgres_fdw.
