Thread: Connect to remote database via psql?

Hi List;

I've setup an ODBC connection from my Linux/Postgres laptop to a Lunux/postgres server. I can connect via isql to the
remotedatabase. 

How can I select data from the remote database from within an sql statement in psql on my local machine?

For example I'd like to be able to specify the server@database.table to connect on the fly from straight SQL.

Is this possible?

Is it ODBC related? I think psql isn't our focus.
BTW psql have to be connected to some backend (PgSQL server). So
I'm not sure if I understand you well.

You could look at contrib/dblink. It could be what are you looking for.
