Hi

When I execute the query:

SELECT *
FROM dblink('dbname=Bas','SELECT id FROM person') AS t(a int)
WHERE t.a > 9000 AND T.a < 9050;

I receive the error message

ERROR: function dblink("unknown", "unknown") does not exist

How do I install or setup the function dbLink so that I can use this feature.

Regards
Richard

You should read the docu.

Which distribution do you have? You should install the contrib-package
and then you should run the dblink.sql.

psql your_database < dblink.sql

After this, you can use dblink.

Hi. Thanks for the assistance. I have another question. Is it possible to install this function on Window XP?
