Re: How to access table from one database to another database

I can think of numerous examples where someone might want to run a
query against databases on different databases or servers.
I don't think it has anything to do with design.

You might think it is better to move the data together before running
the query, but that takes a lot more time and effort for a one time
query.

As food for thought, do you think dblink was created for idiots who
don't know how to design a database and it has no real purpose for
those who actually know how to do proper design?

As an aside, Vivekananda, your questions (all of the recent ones) belong on the pgsql maillist
and not on the pgadmin maillist and you shouldn't be emailing the
pgadmin owner as well.

You should never design a database structure that requires you to access a completely different database. The best way to keep data separate, yet give your users access to the uniqueness of a separate structure, is to create different schemas.

You may wish to spend some time re-thinking the structure of your DB system.

Hope this helps,
Derrick
