Hi,

I have the following problem when trying to access other PostgreSQL databases with DBLink. I followed the instructions on http://www.postgresonline.com/journal/index.php?/archives/44-Using-DbLink-to-access-other-PostgreSQL-Databases-and-Servers.html.

My query to get access to another database on the same server looks like this:

        select dblink_connect('1512','host=127.0.0.1 port=5432
        dbname=Test user=postgres password=postgres');

        select * from dblink('1512','select "Vorname", "Name" from
        "PERSONEN"')
        AS (Vorname text, Name text);

The question is if it is possible to leave the 'user' and 'password' empty, so that these are taken from the account I'm currently using, as described below (taken from the above article).

        [...]
        Below is an example of querying a database on the same server   
        and cluster using DbLink. Note if no username and password is
        specified, then DbLink connects with whatever account you are
        currently using.

It is not possible to connect to the other database when they are empty and it seems that DBLink can't get them from the currently used account. Can you please help me with that? Thank you.

Regards,
H. Muster
