DBLINK_CANCEL_QUERY(3)

🎀 NAME 🎀

okay so this is the DBLINK_CANCEL_QUERY(3) page from PostgreSQL 14.24 Documentation, and it's literally about dblink_cancel_query — cancels any active query on the named connection. no cap. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

dblink_cancel_query(text connname) returns text

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

dblink_cancel_query attempts to cancel any query that is in progress on the named connection. bestie, hear me: this is not certain to succeed — like, the remote query might already have finished, for example. a cancel request simply improves the odds that the query will fail soon. you must still complete the normal query protocol, for example by calling dblink_get_result. iykyk. 🦋

🍓 ARGUMENTS 🍓

• connname — name of the connection to use. that's the whole argument, slay. ✨

🌈 RETURN VALUE 🌈

returns OK if the cancel request has been sent, or the text of an error message on failure. literally that simple. 💜

🔥 EXAMPLES 🔥

SELECT dblink_cancel_query('dtest1');

that's the example, bestie — copy it exactly, no edits, periodt. 🎀
