Oops Forgot to include the pg_dump 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 - Dumped the data /usr/pgsql-9.5/bin/pg_dump --username pgdba --format custom --file /var/lib/pgsql/armandp/csireg.csilogs.data --data-only -d csireg --table=csi_logs 3 - Replaced csilog with csidev in csireg.csilogs 4 - In the new db , which has the schema csidev, I created the table using the DDL from (3) 5 - 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; On Mar 7, 2016, at 11:55 AM, Armand Pirvu (home) <armand.pirvu@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > 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 .
