Thread: pg_restore : change schema

Hi

Imagine I have used pg_dump to backup a given single schema.

Is there any feature in pg_restore (8.4) that would allow to restore this schema in a schema with another name ?

Thanks

I think there isn't. If the pg_dump is ASCII and the file is small enough
you could edit it.

How would that help?

If I understand correctly, the original poster is trying to do something
like:

Source DB
schema1.table1

And restore it to
schema2.table1

Well, that would work if the schema, when restored, is free. If not, you'd like to set the schema name in which you
restorebefore restoring. 

When you use Oracle, you can, using exp/imp, change the schema you restore in by setting properly the program
arguments.I understand that this is not possible with postgres, and this would be a nice feature.
