Hi I have a table in a db called csi_logs and it resides in it;s own schema called csilog I need to move it to a totally different database but with a different schema called csidev 1 - I took the table ddl /usr/pgsql-9.5/bin/pg_dump --username pgdba --format plain --file /var/lib/pgsql/armandp/csireg.csilogs --schema-only -d csireg --table=csi_logs 2 - Replaced csilog with csidev in csireg.csilogs 3 - In the new db , which has the schema csidev, I created the table using the DDL from (2) 4 - pg_restore fails -bash-4.2$ /usr/pgsql-9.5/bin/pg_restore --username=pgdba --format=c /var/lib/pgsql/armandp/csireg.csilogs.data --data-only --dbname=csilog --table=csi_logs pg_restore: [archiver (db)] Error while PROCESSING TOC: pg_restore: [archiver (db)] Error from TOC entry 3553; 0 29955 TABLE DATA csi_logs pgdba pg_restore: [archiver (db)] could not execute query: ERROR: relation "csi_logs" does not exist Command was: COPY csi_logs (log_id, log_time, log_server_name, severity_level, log_message, json_data, stack_trace) FROM stdin; Bu the table is there . So is the schema also embedded in the data file ? I am going plain format now to see but if that would be the case, why embed the schema in a data only file ? Any other gotchas ?
