>Description</H2
><P
>    <CODE
CLASS="FUNCTION"
>dblink_cancel_query</CODE
> attempts to cancel any query that
    is in progress on the named connection.  Note that this is not
    certain to succeed (since, for example, the remote query might
    already have finished).  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
    <CODE
CLASS="FUNCTION"
>dblink_get_result</CODE
>.
