dblink / Insert several records into remote table

["P. Broennimann" <peter.broennimann@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello

I'd like to use dblink to insert records (several) from a local table to a remote table. Is it possible to do this in one statement? Something like:

    insert into <remotetable> select col1, col2, col3 from <localtable>

Can someone give me an example or tell me what commands to use? What I have so far:

    l_connect_str = 'hostaddr=192.168.10.21 port=5432 dbname=db1 user=postgres password=test';

    perform public.dblink_connect('con1', l_connect_str);

    ...

                         

    perform public.dblink_disconnect('conn1');

P.S: I could "pull" the data (select) from the remote DB using dblink, but I prefer to "push" the data (insert) from the local DB to reduce the network traffic.

Thanks,

Peter
