Hi All, Is there an easy way to restore to a new table where the column name have been changed but data remains the same? For example I am trying to restore from existing system, table1(col1) to table1(col2) and it is erroring out on the new column name even though it is a data only restore. I was just wondering if there is a quick way to bypass this. Let me know.
If your data file is plain text with a COPY or INSERT commands, do this using psql: begin; alter table1 rename col2 to col1; \i datafile.sql alter table1 rename col1 to col2; commit; Craig -- Sent via pgsql-admin mailing list (pgsql-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-admin
