Thread: Database Transfer

Hi,

I have two servers running pgsql.  Is there a command to transfer the
databases
between them?

pg_dump and psql. "Back up" one database and "restore" it on the other
server. Don't even think about moving files around. :)

I have an interest in this topic ...

I am looking to do "real time" updates of a data base on two different
servers, with one acting as a master and the other acting as a slave.  In
the realm of Oracle, I believe it is called "replication".

From what I have read, there is no such feature in pgsql.  Can somebody
confirm this?

Thanks,
Kate Collins
