Thanks, I found the extension but no documentation on how to install it or use it. Can you give me some pointers? TNX David

I have an LDAP directory that contains contact information and a
PostgreSQL table that has contact names. What I want to do is write a
SELECT that will join the names in the table with the data in the LDAP
directory (such as phone number, e-mail address, etc). Is this possible?
Has anyone done this before?   
Take a look at dblink-ldap, available on pgFoundry. It's not exactly
polished :-), but it works for a lot of cases. I've used it for doing
exactly what you're trying to do here.
