Nicholas,
To use the dblink:
1. In your postgres server you should find a file *dblink.sql*.
In my beta installation is in *share/postgresql/contrib*. It is the
installation for the dblink contrib module that usually is already compiled
in. It will create a lot of dblink functions.
I have a list (or array) of primary keys stored in a field (data type text).
I would like to use the list to retrieve all the data from a table based on
the list.
my text field contains:
'123,134,343,345'
I would to do something like the following:
Select * from table1 where table1.pkid in
i've not tried this in postgres, but using information_schema makes

Thank you, Lucas. I'm from the MS world, still learning these PG things.
Though, it appears that the difference is somewhat minor. In my actual
implementation, [other database] would be a linked server, which sounds like
it would be similar to the PG dblink. Regardless, I've found information
