Обсуждение: copying database?
hi i have working installation of postgresql 7.2 in one location. then i have devel machine which should have more or less curent database on it. problems: 1. database is > 1gigabytes of data 2. devel machine need r/w access, but all changes to this database has to be overwritten when downloading new version from working installation 3. i cannot shut down working installation even for a moment. pg_dump is nto an option - due to time of inserting >1G data into new database. i tried to copy DATADIR from working to devel, but it didn't help (problem with pg_xlog and missing data). any ideas? depesz -- hubert depesz lubaczewski http://www.depesz.pl/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ... vows are spoken to be broken ...

You can pipe the output to gzip (makes the file probably smaller) or split (splits it into smaller pieces). Restore with "cat file1 file2 file2 | psql dbname".

Restore with "cat file1 file2 file2 | psql dbname". the problem is not in transferring data, but in insert time. depesz -- hubert depesz lubaczewski http://www.depesz.pl/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ... vows are spoken to be broken ...
