Hi List;
I want to run a copy (based on a select) to STDOUT and pipe it to a
psql copy from STDIN on a different host.
here's what I have:
1) a .sql file that looks like this:
copy (
select
cust_id,
cust_name,
last_update_dt
from sl_cust
)
to STDOUT
with delimiter '|'
This works.
However I want to pipe the resulting data into a psql statement that
does a copy IN to a table on another host. I can't seem to get it
right. I tried this:
psql -f file1.sql | psql -h newhost -f file2.sql
where file1.sql is the copy statement above and file2.sql does a copy
table from STDIN with delimiter '|'
Any thoughts on what I'm doing wrong?
no database unless your logged in as someone with the same name as the
databases on both servers?
C:\>psql -d gpdms_nunit -c "copy (select * from pg_class) to stdout with
delimiter '|'" | psql -d gpdms -c "create table foo (like pg_class);
copy foo from stdin with delimiter '|';"
works for me on 8.3.0 win32
klint.
