This does seem fairly common though, with other users complaining of the same issues with Oracle. The commonly suggested solution is to use: SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY(MYLINKEDSERVER, 'SELECT * FROM public.mytable') Which works perfectly afaict, apart from a minor issue with columns of type 'name', for which I've just committed a fix to CVS.

As far I can see this tries to open the table complete, and fails in my case cause i have a ADSL connection and it tries to fetch all the records.... This looks to me as a very slow workaround.
