Howdy! I'm trying to build some fixture (test) data for a webapp I'm building for my company. To do this I've taken a dump of data from production, exported it using pg_dump, and load it via psql <database> < <file> The data that is exported from production is about 25K rows and 12MB. The dump takes less than a second but the load is taking 2 minutes. The load step seems really slow. I'm wondering if there are ways to tweak the system to load faster. Or, if the process cannot be spead up I guess I don't need all 25 rows.. Is there a way to export a query to file via command line? export: pg_dump forums --data-only --no-owner -t foo > <output file> import: psql forums < <output file>
