Yes, that's what Postgres is doing. DBI-link is currently incapable of pushing down the predicate to the remote system because Postgres can't give it access to the predicate. > Anybody knows how improve this? If I have to push the predicate down, I'll generally write a set-returning function which takes some of the predicate, limit, and offset info to build a dynamic sql query against the remote database using dblink. -- Jonah H.
