Hi All,
Im trying to find out documentation for postgres module names "dblink", can
anyone point me out to it. What i want to do is join multiple databases
instead of multiple tables.
Thanks,
Sumeet.

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.

dblink is a contrib module, that means it is part of the postgresql
source code distribution.
you can read README.dblink online at
http://developer.postgresql.org/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/pgsql/contrib/dblink/README.dblink?rev=1.12.4....
Bye,
Chris.

If you install PostgreSQL via packages then the contrib modules
might be in a package other than the base installation. If so then
the package will typically have the word "contrib" in its name.
