Hello, I'm using the db_link approach too, but rather than using dblink_get_result, I store the result in an additional table. This was faster, at least for my use case and at the time when I implemented that solution... something like db_link_send_query('conn0', 'CREATE UNLOGGED TABLE my_result... db_link_send_query('conn1', 'INSERT INTO my_result statement based on partitioning field'); db_link_send_query('conn2', 'INSERT INTO my_result statement based on partitioning field'); ... select * from my_result regards, Marc Mamin -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
