I don't know if this was the intent but it did provide me with what I thought was a good idea. * Snapshot a schema / tablespace / database to another schema / tablespace / database. The applications for this could be * an alternative to the existing backup methods * using the copy for testing purposes without having to create-drop database * providing stock data for application demos without fear of losing the original * quick recovery to a known good schema and data Could the mechanics behind pg_start_backup() assist with the development of such a feature? It's just a rough idea. Greg -- Sent via pgsql-admin mailing list (pgsql-admin@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-admin
