[GENERAL] Cloning database without dump/restore
Only port 5432 is opened in server. Database can cloned using pg_dup / pg_restore If server is located in internet this requires huge amount of time and bandwidth. How to clone database fast ? How to create server side pl/pgsql script which use code like in pg_dump/pg_restore and or in pg_migrator and clones existing database or other idea ?

I don't believe there's any way to avoid that. How to clone database fast ? How to create server side pl/pgsql script which use code like in pg_dump/pg_restore and or in pg_migrator and clones existing database or other idea ? roughly, for every object in the database (pick through the pg_catalog), create an equivalent table in the new database...wait. pl/pgsql can't connect to another database, at least not without a package like dblink ... then copy all the data from the source table to the destination table. This will have to move the same amount of data over the network to the new server, there's no way to avoid that. -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general

See pg_basebackup here: https://github.com/dimitri/pg_basebackup I'm wouldn't expect it to be fast though. -- Dimitri Fontaine http://2ndQuadrant.fr PostgreSQL : Expertise, Formation et Support -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
