dblink_exec(text connname, text sql [, bool fail_on_error]) returns text
dblink_exec(text connstr, text sql [, bool fail_on_error]) returns text

</pre></div><div class="refsect1" id="id-1.11.7.22.9.5"><h2>Description</h2><p>
    <code class="function">dblink_exec</code> executes a command (that is, any SQL statement
    that doesn't return rows) in a remote database.
   </p><p>
    When two <code class="type">text</code> arguments are given, the first one is first
    looked up as a persistent connection's 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 <code class="function">dblink_connect</code>,
    and the indicated connection is made just for the duration of this command.
   </p></div><div class="refsect1" id="id-1.11.7.22.9.6"><h2>Arguments</h2><div class="variablelist"><dl class="variablelist"><dt><span class="term"><em class="parameter"><code>connname</code></em></span></dt><dd><p>
       Name of the connection to use; omit this parameter to use the
       unnamed connection.
      </p></dd><dt><span class="term"><em class="parameter"><code>connstr</code></em></span></dt><dd><p>
       A connection info string, as previously described for
       <code class="function">dblink_connect</code>.
      </p></dd><dt><span class="term"><em class="parameter"><code>sql</code></em></span></dt><dd><p>
       The SQL command that you wish to execute in the remote database,
       for example
       <code class="literal">insert into foo values(0, 'a', '{"a0","b0","c0"}')</code>.
      </p></dd><dt><span class="term"><em class="parameter"><code>fail_on_error</code></em></span></dt><dd><p>
       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's return value is set to <code class="literal">ERROR</code>.
      </p></dd></dl></div></div><div class="refsect1" id="id-1.11.7.22.9.7"><h2>Return Value</h2><p>
    Returns status, either the command's status string or <code class="literal">ERROR</code>.
