PostgreSQL DBLINK

 

In this article I will describe how to connect to remote PostgreSQL database with PostgreSQL dblink.

Dblink usage is similar to other databases. but in order to use this dblink, we need to create the extension.

You can create the dblink extension with the help of the following command.

 

After activating, you can connect using the command below.

 

The parameters used in the above query can be found in the following table.

host = 192.168.87.154 -> the server IP you want to connect to

user = postgres -> the user with the superuser authority in the postgresql that you want to connect to

password = P@ssword1! -> the password of the user you specified above

dbname = link_d1 -> the database name in the postgresql that you want to connect to

‘select id, ad from db_lnk1’ -> query

linktable (id int, ad varchar (150)) -> linktable is a name that I give. You can also give another name. In the linktable, we specified the types of columns in the table named db_lnk1 that we used in the query.

 

The two servers need to be able to access each other through the postgresql ports in order to be able to query with dblink between these two servers.

If you are using a firewall in your organization, you must give the necessary permissions for the related ports between this two servers.

If you are not using a firewall and you have restricted the pg_hba.conf file, you must make the necessary definitions on the pg_hba.conf file so that this two servers can access each other through the corresponding port.
