Thread: Copy of a schema

Hi,

I wonder whether it is possible to copy a schema with a postgreSQL
command like "copy_schema schema_src schema_dest" ?

It would be interesting for the development and the tests to be able to
work on a copy of a schema without having to make a dump of database and
to insert it in a new database or a new schema.

Regards.

You can rename a schema. And, you can make a dump, then rename it, and
then restore from backup. Or, make a backup, edit this file and restore
it.

Attention: if you have sequences (for instance), you getting problems
because the table-definitions references the wrong schema.
