What i want to do is join multiple databases > instead of multiple tables. If you've installed dblink then somewhere on your system should be a file named README.dblink. How to find that file depends on the platform: on many Unix-like systems you can use "locate" or "find", or if you installed dblink via a package then you could use the package management tool to display a list of files that it installed. I'd mention that doing joins between databases isn't a good idea but it looks like you've already had that discussion in the recent "Multiple DB join" thread. http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-sql/2006-08/msg00097.php -- Michael Fuhr
