We use it outside of dblink with two direct connections to two databases. Just be sure you have some monitoring that will alert you to prepared transactions that are lingering for a long time. Also, if you have a pending prepared transaction on a host with a newly inserted row, and you retry inserting that row from another connection, you will get an immediate "statement timeout" error. This is a bit confusing at first but once you know what the cause is, it is easy to work with. -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
