+ <code class="function">dblink_get_result</code> collects the results of an

+ If the query is not already completed, <code class="function">dblink_get_result</code>
+ will wait until it is.

+ 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 returns no rows.
+ </p></dd></dl></div></div><div class="refsect1" id="id-1.11.7.19.18.7"><h2>Return Value</h2><p>
+ For an async query (that is, an 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 <code class="function">dblink</code>.
+ </p><p>
+ For an async command (that is, an 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 <code class="literal">FROM</code>
+ clause.
+ </p></div><div class="refsect1" id="id-1.11.7.19.18.8"><h2>Notes</h2><p>
+ This function <span class="emphasis"><em>must</em></span> be called if
+ <code class="function">dblink_send_query</code> 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.
+ </p><p>
+ When using <code class="function">dblink_send_query</code> and
+ <code class="function">dblink_get_result</code>, <span class="application">dblink</span> fetches the entire
+ remote query result before returning any of it to the local query
+ processor. If the query returns a large number of rows, this can result
+ in transient memory bloat in the local session. It may be better to open
+ such a query as a cursor with <code class="function">dblink_open</code> and then fetch a
+ manageable number of rows at a time. Alternatively, use plain
+ <code class="function">dblink()</code>, which avoids memory bloat by spooling large result
+ sets to disk.
