Hey all, I have a Windows PostgreSQL server where dblink_connect fails to pick up the current user as follows:
#psql -h localhost -U postgres ffm ffm=# select version(); version ------------------------------------------------------------- PostgreSQL 9.4.5, compiled by Visual C++ build 1800, 64-bit (1 row) ffm=# ffm=# SELECT dblink_connect('master', 'dbname=ffm'); ERROR: could not establish connection DETAIL: FATAL: role "PRDSWIDEGRID01$" does not exist ffm=# ffm=# select user; current_user -------------- phxowner (1 row) ffm=# select session_user; session_user -------------- postgres (1 row) ffm=# SELECT dblink_connect('master', 'dbname=ffm user=postgres'); dblink_connect ---------------- OK (1 row) Has anyone seen this before? It seems very odd to me, I have another identical machine (except for being on 9.4.0) which this works on.
