If I have this: CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW Link.Foo AS select * from dblink( 'hostaddr=123.123.123.123 dbname=KitchenPC user=Website password=secret', 'select * from Foo') as ... Then it works. However, if I do: CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW Link.Foo AS select * from dblink( 'hostaddr=db.domain.com <http://db.domain.com> dbname=KitchenPC user=Website password=secret', 'select * from Foo') as ... Then I get: ERROR: could not establish connection DETAIL: could not translate host name "db.domain.com <http://db.domain.com>" to address: Unknown host However, from a command prompt I can ping db.domain.com <http://db.domain.com> and get 123.123.123.123. Does dblink just not support DNS resolution? I really don't want to hard code IP addresses in my scripts. Thanks!
See below for explanation of hostaddr and host. Short version, you are looking for host:
