Hi list! I am using DBLink on a Win32 system running PostgreSQL 8.2 to query a table on another similar system (Win32 / PostgreSQL 8.2). If I query the server with dblink('hostaddr=ip_address ...', ...), it works fine, but if I try to use the hostname instead (dblink('hostaddr=myserver.mydomain.com ...', ...)), I have an error : ERROR: could not establish connection DETAIL: could not translate host name "myserver.mydomain.com" to address: Unknown server error Both server can resolve this address though. Is this a known issue ? Is there something I can do about it ? Thansk a lot !
