+.SH "NAME"
+dblink_exec \- executes a command in a remote database
+.SH "SYNOPSIS"
+.sp
+.nf
+dblink_exec(text connname, text sql [, bool fail_on_error]) returns text
+dblink_exec(text connstr, text sql [, bool fail_on_error]) returns text
+dblink_exec(text sql [, bool fail_on_error]) returns text
+.fi
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.PP
+\fBdblink_exec\fR
+executes a command (that is, any SQL statement that doesn\*(Aqt return rows) in a remote database\&.
+.PP
+When two
+text
+arguments are given, the first one is first looked up as a persistent connection\*(Aqs name; if found, the command is executed on that connection\&. If not found, the first argument is treated as a connection info string as for
+\fBdblink_connect\fR, and the indicated connection is made just for the duration of this command\&.
+.SH "ARGUMENTS"
+.PP
+\fIconnname\fR
+.RS 4
+Name of the connection to use; omit this parameter to use the unnamed connection\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\fIconnstr\fR
+.RS 4
+A connection info string, as previously described for
+\fBdblink_connect\fR\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\fIsql\fR
+.RS 4
+The SQL command that you wish to execute in the remote database, for example
+insert into foo values(0, \*(Aqa\*(Aq, \*(Aq{"a0","b0","c0"}\*(Aq)\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\fIfail_on_error\fR
+.RS 4
+If true (the default when omitted) then an error thrown on the remote side of the connection causes an error to also be thrown locally\&. If false, the remote error is locally reported as a NOTICE, and the function\*(Aqs return value is set to
+ERROR\&.
+.RE
+.SH "RETURN VALUE"
+.PP
+Returns status, either the command\*(Aqs status string or
+ERROR\&.
