Hi
Here I am again with my 'stupd' question
here is a script :
=====================
psql -h192.168.XXX.XXX -dDATABASE -Upostgres << EOF > /home/postgres/FILE
COPY TABLE TO stdout;
EOF
psql -h192.168.XXX.XXX -dDATABASE -Upostgres << EOF
COPY carax_exec_bck FROM '/home/postgres/FILE';
EOF
=======================
I got this error :
ERROR: could not open file "/home/postgres/FILE" for reading: No such
file or directory
????
thx
cedric

Why you don't make:
COPY carax_exec_bck TO '/home/postgres/FILE';
?
Then you could also use something like....
COPY carax_exec_bck TO '/home/postgres/FILE' WITH BINARY;
etc.

Are the client and server on the same machine? The use of the -h
option suggests perhaps not. In the first command you're redirecting
psql's output to a file on the client machine, and in the second
command you're trying to read a file on the server machine.

pg_dump does the same.. if you same custom it makes binary (WITH BINARY)
but with compression.
Performance?
1. TOP: inserte into select ....
2. TOP: copy / pg_restore with uncompressed binary
3. TOP: copy / pg_restore with uncompressed text
4. TOP: pg_restore with compressed binary (custom format in pg_dump)
5. TOP: normal inserts...
This is my experience.

Be aware to give postgres write/read access to this file/dir - i think
the double "//" is typee
