(8.3?  That's even older than what we just migrated from!!!)

No.  Make some views (I'd probably make them "month-sized"), COPY each view from the source db to a file, and then COPY each file to it's relevant target table.

You should also think about a program named pg_bulkload.

Thank you Ron! What if dev environment is on 9.6, but prod is on version 8.3? Will posgtres_fdw still be the right option?

Hello psql friends,
We need to migrate only 6 months worth of data from one instance to another. What would be the easiest way to do it? In Oracle, I would set up dblink. What about postgresql?

postgres_fdw
