Q: 

PostgreSQL cross server query?

Is there a way that I might query a database located on "Server 2" and get my data in "Server 1" ? That is return a set of records from a remote server to my local one.

PS: Not cross database query on same server because I know how to do that with dblink.

Update: great ty.

http://www.postgresonline.com/journal/index.php?/archives/44-Using-DbLink-to-access-other-PostgreSQL-Databases-and-Servers.html works like a charm. My bust was that I didn't see it on the dblink documentation on postgresql website.

+2  A: 

Apparently dblink can be used to query other servers - Using DbLink to access other PostreSQL Databases and Servers
