Thread: copy expensive local view to an RDS instance

Hi,

I have a local db behind a firewall etc. Basically, I'd like to do what
I'd locally would...

create table abc
as
select
     *
from
     local_expensive_view;

abc - on RDS
local_expensive_view - on local machine

How would you go about doing this?

Thanks,
Marcus

Then I'd need to open our servers to external visits. It would be lovely
if dblink_exec could push a subselect of data instead instead of pull
from RDS. Does this make sense?

Thanks,
Marcus

Is the idea to pull data from the RDS to your local machine? If so, dblink or possibly plproxy[1] should be able to do that.

Sorry, no, I want to push data from my local machine but I've only seen examples of push with dblink_exec and litteral values rather than a subselect or smth.

Best regards,
Marcus

This is sort of getting away from Postgres, but if the RDS instance is
in a VPC, you could put a VPN on the VPC so dblink wouldn't have to go
over the open Internet.
