Is there data in db2 that is not in db1, and ought not to be? If not,
then I suggest dumping the table from db1, loading it into a different
schema in db2, then moving the table in db2 out of the way and the
new-table into place, all in one transaction.
If you have data in db2 that is _not_ in db1 but that should be there,
then the easier way is likely again to load up the table from db1 into
a different schema, then perform updates and inserts as needed on the
db2 table you're trying to modify.
Finally, and I suppose this is obvious, if there are a lot of records
involved you may want to do this in hunks so that you can perform the
necessary vacuums and so on on the target table, or else have a very
long-running transaction.
