Hi,
I am using postgresql 7.2.1.
I badly require to interconnect between databases. contrib/dblink seems to
be handy and ofcourse it well suits my requirement. But while browsing
across, i heard that it is not advicable to use it. So i wish to know
someone's experience in using dblink and how handy it is.
Will contrib/dblink be available with future postgresql releases? Valuable
suggestions are very welcome.
TIA.
regards,
bhuvaneswaran

dblink is fine to use, and will continue to be shipped with PostgreSQL.
Not sure where you heard about problems with it.

I've heard of at least two people who seem to be using dblink fairly
heavily without problems. One recently reported something like 500
million records transferred without error. I use it myself, but not in
what I'd call heavy use.
If you are aware of any specific problems, please point me to them, and
I'll fix them before the next release.
Thanks,
Joe

Dear Mr.Joe Conway,
Thank you very much for your suggestion.
Really nowhere i got to know about specific problem in dblink. But some
discussions had went on this mailing list long back and here is that link
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-sql/2002-05/msg00007.php
Anyway thank you once again.
regards,
bhuvaneswaran
