Hi all,
Is it possible to connect to another database within a
PL/PgSQL function?
I'm in a function on the "A" database and I need to
retrieve some information from a table in a different
Database "B"
may someone help me?
thanks, Danilo.
bye.

You can't access another database even inside 1 server directly.
Find something about contrib/dblink - maybe it will help you.

you should install dblink as Tomasz said. To do that:
cd ...../postgresql-7.3.2/contrib/dblink
gmake
gmake install
then you enter into psql to create the functions:
\i dblink.psql
then you try (change the params):
SELECT
*
FROM
dblink('host=localhost port=5432 dbname=franco user=admin password=1234',
'SELECT id, name FROM people')
AS (id INTEGER, people TEXT);
If you skip the values host, port, ..., the defaults will be used.
If it works in psql, it should work inside a function.
