There are a couple of ways. Assuming that it's the same database, and it's up and running, you could do this:
Assuming: table foo (col1 text, col2 int); table bar (col2 text, col3 int); insert into bar (select * from foo); would stick everything from foo.col1 and foo.col2 into bar.col2 and bar.col3 respectively. Using pg_dump, you could dump just the table: pg_dump -t foo mydatabase and edit the CREATE TABLE statement. Hi All, Is there an easy way to restore to a new table where the column name have been changed but data remains the same? For example I am trying to restore from existing system, table1(col1) to table1(col2) and it is erroring out on the new column name even though it is a data only restore. I was just wondering if there is a quick way to bypass this. Let me know. Thanks.
