Thread: Odd dump/restore question

I have Postgresql DB on a local machine that is updated periodically.
I could have a script that would run pg_dump and then ftp it up to the
host machine each 15 minutes say.

Would I then be able to run pg_restore each time autonomously on the
host machine to load the updated database?

I don't see why not.....but you might be better off using replication
- have a look at Slony.

I think, you should read more about replication, for instance with
slony. http://gborg.postgresql.org/project/slony1/projdisplay.php
