Hi all, This is perhaps a very 'newbie' question but for the life of me, I can't see a way to do it without resorting to programming... (blush)
something like - pg_dump --data-only --table=myoldhistorytable | psql -h x.x.x.x mynewdb
The thing is: I have a table that acts as a historic for some devices activity. Now I've migrated the entire 'shebang' to another server and need to update the history table on the new server with data from the old server for every different record.
If I get that right the old server has some of the new data (or more importantly - updates to rows that were transferred) since the transfer started?
Your best bet would be to pg_dump the data then change the table name at the start of the file to match a temp table name that can take the old history and then insert/update from the temp table to the new server history table.
As the table on the new server grows exponentially (already nearing 1M records) I need to do this asap unless I want the entire thing to take forever... (sweat) Could someone please lend me a hand here? Already thankful for any insight,
