Hi all,
I need to pg_dump a database to another server.
The particularity is that the database is bigger than remaining space on disk. Obviously, this is not a problem because i'm dumping to another host, but I need to know if the procedure streams data
to remote host or the data itself is packed up in temporary file(s) that are sent to remote host.
The former would be such a problem, because there are good chances I'll have my
disk filled up...
I've not found details on this in documentation.
In fact, in the docs there is all the info you might ever need. PostgreSQL
project excels on that compared to *many* free-software projects. Now what you
could do is something like :
createdb -h your_big_server your_database
pg_dump -h your_small_server your_database | psql -h your_big_server -f -
your_database
Thanks
Moreno.
