Re: query a table from one database to another

[AI Rumman <rummandba@xxxxxxxxx>]

I am getting the error:

 

------------------------------------------------------------------------

LINE 1: select dblink_connect('dbname=postgres');
               ^
HINT:  No function matches the given name and argument types. You might need to add explicit type casts.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Please tell me why? I am using Postgresql 8.3

You'll need something like the dblink contrib module to get one database to
