Обсуждение: Creating schema for multiple tables/fields/indices.

I just downloaded postgreSQL.  I have finished the install and everything
looks okay.  I am now ready to create a db and add tables/fields/indices.  I
have approx. 100 tables 2,000 fields and 500 indices.  Before I spend an
ungodly amount of time doing these individually, can I load an entire schema
via some scripting method?

If you have the CREATE statements all written out in one file (eg
create_stuff.sql)

psql <dbname> <username> < create_stuff.sql

Or you could connect with psql and type

\i create_stuff.sql

Do you have structure of your stuff (DDL) as SQL statements somewhere?

If yes, then find how to feed all that stuff to psql (I suggest using `-c'
flag or simply pipe to psql) - see docs.

If no, then you'll have to spent some time on creation of your DB structure.

Thanks!  This looks doable.
