Hi,
I'd like to have a simple system whereby I can sync a local copy of a
whole database from the master.
My first shot at this has been,
ssh root@master "pg_dump -c $DATABASE" | sudo -u postgres psql -q $DATABASE
where postgres is the Debian user that has what I understand to be
super-user style privs with PostgreSQL.
The problem is that the dump contains \connect commands which require me
to either authenticate or create *nix users and run ident - as far as I
can tell. Ideally I'd like the super-user to be able to perform these
connects silently - the initial authentication effectively happening at
sudo time.
(My pg_hba.conf has localhost password authenticating so the webserver
can access it, and ident/username based for unix sockets.)
Is this possible? Is there a better way of doing what I'm trying?
If I've missed R'ing something in TFM, pointers appreciated! I didn't
see anything in the Admin Guide.
Thanks, Paul
