I have 2 DBs, one for dev the other is live. I want to recreate several
tables in the dev db using the same metadata found in the live db. But
I'm too lazy to manually transcribe everything and that's prone to error
anyway.
In the past, I would just run pg_dump and capture metadata only for
selected tables, then use that to (re)create that tables in the other
DB. But where I am now, they don't give me the privs to run pg_dump.
When you say metadata are you talking about the DDL for an object?
Use FDW?:
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.6/postgres-fdw.html
So I was wondering if there's a way to do this quickly and cleanly
without pg_dump. Perhaps a stored procedure that pg_dump uses (or
something like that) ?
Thanks in Advance !
