PostgreSQL: 8.2.4
OS: Linux Red Hat 4.x 64 bit
I have a database running on serverA with postgres user userA. I want to migrate the database to ServerB with a postgres user userB. Notice the users are not the same. I did the following to put the database on the new server:
1) I created the database on serverB with userB.
2) I then did pg_dump -h serverA –U userA dbname | psql -h serverB –U userB dbname
This of course failed. The user userA was not in the database found on serverB. I then did the following:
1) I created the database on serverB with userB.
2) On serverB I did pg_dump –h serverA –U userA dbname > postgreSQL.out
3) I then did a find and replace on userA with userB through NANO on the file postgreSQL.out
4) I then did psql -h serverB –U userB dbname –f postgreSQL.out
Is there a better way to do this?
Thanks,
