Re: synchronize DTAP

Gidday,

There was an interesting presentation at the Portland Postgres Users Group meeting in early Sept, from a guy who demo'd a Postgres database mounted as a FUSE filesystem. Not production ready, but with tables manifesting as directories, databases could be synch'ed using filesystem tools like rsynch - which offers intriguing backup & replication possibilities.

the demo of the FUSE functionality starts at 39 minutes into the presentation.

Subject: [GENERAL] synchronize DTAP

 

Hi,

We have an environment that has a central repository for lookups, which is replicated to several databases, ech for different applications.

This has been arranged in a DTAP manner.

Sometimes it is necessary to synchronize the lookups of one of the DTAP branches with another. But i can't just overwrite one database with a dump from another branch, as the consumer databases will not follow.

What i think i need is a way to compute the differences between two databases that have the same schema, and generate insert/update/delete statements from that.

Since this seems as a pretty generic problem, i thought that i should ask around before i start writing my own scripts. Does anyone know of script or application that does this?

Cheers
