Hi Kevin,
Sorry to disturb you.. But I am really new in it...
Let me see if I understood...
pg_dump -h sourcemachine -U sourceuser source_dbname | psql target_dbname
Has anyone done any measurement of whether it is faster to do the dump
on the local machine with psql remote or from a remote machine (where
psql would be local)?
It probably depends more on your network speed. If you have a slow network, then run pg_dump on the machine where the database lives and use compression (--format=c) and restore using pg_restore. It will cut WAY down on the amount of data that has to move across the net. If you have a fast network, then it doesn't matter very much -- you'll be limited by disk speed.
