Thread: Copy content from dbs

Hi.

Is there an easy way to copy the content including the table
structure, indexes and so on from one db to another?

Let's say I have a production db called db_production and want to
create a development db called db_dev with exactly the same content
on the same machine - just with the different name?

pg_dump: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/static/app-pgdump.html

Found it. Thanks. I was just blind and thought, pg_dump can only re-
create the db with the same name.

Thanks,
Guido

Create the new db with the old db as template.

Thanks, but as far as I can see, I have to disconnect all clients
from the production db to do this and this wasn't an option.

I forgot to mention that. The pg_dump way is fine for me.
