Hi,
I had a general question about a feature that we depended on heavily when using other RDBMS providers which was the ability to take a schema dump and restore it to a different database and a different schema in that database (could be to the same database as well). Basically, there was an option on restore to specify a FROMUSER and a TOUSER directive so schema A could be restored elsewhere but as schema B.
I don’t see such an option in Postgres and the only workaround I am aware of is to do a plain-text (format=p) and then a crude find/replace to replace the old schema name with the new schema name. I’ve never actually tested this to be sure even this would work. Also, using this option will prevent us from parallelizing the import or export, so it’s really not something we want to do.
This would be a really useful feature in my opinion along with the ability to maintain parallelization options.
Are there any such features on the roadmap? Is my understanding correct about the available ways to accomplish this – again, in a practical and performant way?
Thanks,
Mayan
This is true. Such a feature is not available in PostgreSQL.
What you need to do is you have to take a structure dump, and change the schema name as per required. And, then, you may copy the data.
