Hi, I’m trying to use dblink to connect from database1 to database2 on the same machine. The Postgres version is 9.3.5.
Firstly, I’ve created a user to use with the connection, while logged in as the postgres superuser to database2: > create user db_link with password ‘mypassword’; > grant select on appuser to db_link; Secondly, the following has been added to pg_hba.conf and a restart done. # dblink between database1 and database2 local database2 db_link md5 host database2 db_link 127.0.0.1/32 md5 host database2 db_link ::1/128 md5 Connecting with PSQL prompts for a password as expected: > psql -U db_link -d database2 Password for user db_link: psql (9.3.5) Type "help" for help. Then, as a normal user logged into database1, I tried > select * from dblink(‘dbname=database2 username=db_link > password=mypassword','select username, email from appuser') as t1(username > text, email text); However this returns ERROR: password is required DETAIL: Non-superusers must provide a password in the connection string. This is my first time trying dblink so there’s probably something simple I’m missing, but I thought I had provided a password. Any ideas?
