dblink_get_result

Description

dblink_get_result collects the results of an asynchronous query previously sent with dblink_send_query. If the query is not already completed, dblink_get_result will wait until it is.

Arguments

Return Value

For an async query (that is, a SQL statement returning rows), the function returns the row(s) produced by the query. To use this function, you will need to specify the expected set of columns, as previously discussed for dblink.

For an async command (that is, a SQL statement not returning rows), the function returns a single row with a single text column containing the command's status string. It is still necessary to specify that the result will have a single text column in the calling FROM clause.

Notes

This function must be called if dblink_send_query returned 1. It must be called once for each query sent, and one additional time to obtain an empty set result, before the connection can be used again.

Example

 contrib_regression=#   SELECT dblink_connect('dtest1', 'dbname=contrib_regression');
  dblink_connect
 ----------------
  OK
 (1 row)

 contrib_regression=#   SELECT * from
 contrib_regression-#    dblink_send_query('dtest1', 'select * from foo where f1 < 3') as t1;
  t1
 ----
   1
 (1 row)

 contrib_regression=#   SELECT * from dblink_get_result('dtest1') as t1(f1 int, f2 text, f3 text[]);
  f1 | f2 |     f3
 ----+----+------------
   0 | a  | {a0,b0,c0}
   1 | b  | {a1,b1,c1}
   2 | c  | {a2,b2,c2}
