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
dblink_exec executes a command (that is, any SQL statement that doesn't return rows) in a remote database.
When two text 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 dblink_connect, and the indicated connection is made just for the duration of this command.

sql
