I want to create a new database with the exact schema of an existing one, but a different name. After some reading, it seems pg_dump -s old_db > old_schema createdb -t old_schema new_db should work. Will it? Note that old_db has lots of stored functions and user-defined operators in addition to tables and indices. Also, is there any way to selectively restore some of the data from old_db into new_db as well? I'll settle for all data if selectivity isn't possible. Here, I don't have any good guesses, as the docs for pg_restore don't say anything specific about restoring into a db other than the one dumped from. Is there a nice way to do these things that doesn't involve pg_dump | sed? nishad -- "Underneath the concrete, the dream is still alive" -- Talking Heads
