I’m assuming that this needs to be tightly controlled and as such a replication tool is out of the question?
In that case; The first thing to pop into my head here would be to use either use shell scripting, or to use the pg API and write a c program to handle it.
I remember doing something very similar with Oracle a few years back.
Cheers

Hello!
First day on the new mailing list as I have need of some expert’s advice.
I need to be able to quickly apply the structure updates from a development database to a testing database, and do selective data updates (like on lookup tables, but not content tables).
Any help would be appreciated!
Brad
