Re: Generating an ANSI compliant schema recreation script

[J French <hikenboots@xxxxxxxxx>]

I did read the page.  Been there done that, ran the script.  My question was if there was a canned script out there that I didn't have to clean up on the fly.  This will be an cron job for a convoluted development process.  Thanks though.

If you had read the pg_dump manpage, you would have seen:

-s, --schema-only        dump only the schema, no data

The schema dump will be close to ANSI-compatible, but you will
probably have to edit it a bit.
