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.
If your data file is plain text with a COPY or INSERT commands, do this using
psql:
begin;
alter table1 rename col2 to col1;
\i datafile.sql
alter table1 rename col1 to col2;
commit;
