Hello all

                I want to copy the data from one table to other table. These tables reside in two different databases.

I am thinking of using following query

 

insert into table2 (select * from table1)

 

but the problem is how can I specify the database name?


You'll need to look at the dblink contrib module.  Postgres does not include the ability to use cross-database queries out-of-the-box.  The better way of doing what you are talking about is to use separate schemas within the same database.
