Please RTFM. But because I'm such a nice guy:
Create a binary dump of the schema:
pg_dump <database> -v -s -i -F c -Z 9 -U <superuser> -f /tmp/dump.bin
Use the -l option of pg_restore to create a TOC file and filter your
views with grep:
pg_restore -l /tmp/dump.bin | grep -E "[[:space:]]VIEW[[:space:]]" >
/tmp/tmp.toc
Check your TOC file with less to see if everything you want is in it:
less /tmp/tmp.toc
In case all seems fine run pg_restore with that TOC list as argument and
check the SQL statements it generates:
pg_restore -i -v -O -L /tmp/tmp.toc /tmp/dump.bin | less
In case all seems fine again, run it against your other database:
pg_restore -i -v -O -d <other_database> -U <user> -L /tmp/tmp.toc
/tmp/dump.bin
Hope it helps, in case it trashes your server, don't blame me and read
the manual before you're doing anything.
Best regards,
Hannes Dorbath
