+ <code class="function">dblink_open()</code> opens a cursor in a remote database.

+ <code class="function">dblink_fetch()</code> and <code class="function">dblink_close()</code>.

+ If true (the default when omitted) then an error thrown on the

+ Since a cursor can only persist within a transaction,
+ <code class="function">dblink_open</code> starts an explicit transaction block
+ (<code class="command">BEGIN</code>) on the remote side, if the remote side was
+ not already within a transaction. This transaction will be
+ closed again when the matching <code class="function">dblink_close</code> is
+ executed. Note that if
+ you use <code class="function">dblink_exec</code> to change data between
+ <code class="function">dblink_open</code> and <code class="function">dblink_close</code>,
+ and then an error occurs or you use <code class="function">dblink_disconnect</code> before
+ <code class="function">dblink_close</code>, your change <span class="emphasis"><em>will be
+ lost</em></span> because the transaction will be aborted.
