Thread: DATABASE CLONNING

Unless you need to be generating these databases on the fly, you might
consider Slony for your database replication needs http://slony.info/

Essentially, what I mean is that you create said databases, and slony
keeps them in sync (as replicas of the master database).

You can use an existing database as a template when creating new databases
(as, indeed, template1 is used by default). See the -T option to createdb.
