dblink_fetch(text cursorname, int howmany [, bool fail_on_error]) returns setof record

</pre></div><div class="refsect1" id="id-1.11.7.22.11.5"><h2>Description</h2><p>
<code class="function">dblink_fetch</code> fetches rows from a cursor previously
established by <code class="function">dblink_open</code>.
</p></div><div class="refsect1" id="id-1.11.7.22.11.6"><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>cursorname</code></em></span></dt><dd><p>
The name of the cursor to fetch from.
</p></dd><dt><span class="term"><em class="parameter"><code>howmany</code></em></span></dt><dd><p>
The maximum number of rows to retrieve. The next <em class="parameter"><code>howmany</code></em>
rows are fetched, starting at the current cursor position, moving
forward. Once the cursor has reached its end, no more rows are produced.
</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 returns no rows.
</p></dd></dl></div></div><div class="refsect1" id="id-1.11.7.22.11.7"><h2>Return Value</h2><p>
The function returns the row(s) fetched from the cursor. To use this
function, you will need to specify the expected set of columns,
as previously discussed for <code class="function">dblink</code>.
</p></div><div class="refsect1" id="id-1.11.7.22.11.8"><h2>Notes</h2><p>
On a mismatch between the number of return columns specified in the
<code class="literal">FROM</code> clause, and the actual number of columns returned by the
remote cursor, an error will be thrown. In this event, the remote cursor
is still advanced by as many rows as it would have been if the error had
not occurred. The same is true for any other error occurring in the local
query after the remote <code class="command">FETCH</code> has been done.
</p></div><div class="refsect1" id="id-1.11.7.22.11.9"><h2>Examples</h2><pre class="screen">
