Обсуждение: Create Table Scripts

You know what I think would be pretty cool?  If someone out there would
tell me that Postgresql can build "Create Table"  scripts by looking at
an existing table.  Then I wouldn't have to re-create my Create Table
scirpt  files I just incinerated....    Yeah... That would be cool if
someone told me it could do that..

sigh.....

I'm sorry, that's not quite correct -- the -d option will dump your data
as insert statements, otherwise your data gets dumped directly and can be
copied back into the database as a COPY form stdin.

Well if you do a pg_dump databasename > somefile
your table specs, among other things, will be in somefile

pg_dump -s <database>

will dump out scripts to build your database.  If you eliminate the -s, it
will also dump the data as insert statements.

pg_dump -s was perfect!

If I weren't a married man... I'd kiss you...
