I'm sorry my first example was incomplete I need to migrate data from postgresql to oracle thus I have to use dump --column-inserts instead of copy to have an output like this but order by pk: INSERT INTO test (id, note, id_father) VALUES (6, 'Homer Simpson ', 5); INSERT INTO test (id, note, id_father) VALUES (5, 'Abraham Simpson', NULL); INSERT INTO test (id, note, id_father) VALUES (10, 'Maggie Simpson ', 6); INSERT INTO test (id, note, id_father) VALUES (1, 'Ned Flanders ', NULL); INSERT INTO test (id, note, id_father) VALUES (2, 'Maude Flanders ', NULL); INSERT INTO test (id, note, id_father) VALUES (9, 'Bart Simpson ', 6); INSERT INTO test (id, note, id_father) VALUES (3, 'Rod Flanders ', 1); INSERT INTO test (id, note, id_father) VALUES (4, 'Todd Flanders ', 1); INSERT INTO test (id, note, id_father) VALUES (7, 'Marge Simpson ', NULL); INSERT INTO test (id, note, id_father) VALUES (8, 'Lisa Simpson ', 6); j On 12/22/2012 10:35 PM, Robert Treat wrote:
You can COPY based on a select statement, so if you copy to stdout with a select with an order by clause, it should sort the data the way you want.
