Hello,
I have two databases db1 and db2 with the same database structure on
different systems with no network connection. In the first system with the
db1 database user updates the master data. At the end of every day, the user
needs to take the backup of updated data of master tables on db1 and update
the data on another system with db2 database.
We can't use WAL as in this as we want to take incremental backup of few
tables only and can't use slony as there is no network connection between
the systems.
Please suggest some solution.
Thanks,
Jyoti

I guess you are triyng to avoid the 'pg_dump - save_to_floppy -
walk_to_db2_place - pg_restore' pattern. Well, can you save `pg_dump' in
some middle place? One place which machine1 and machine2 have access to?
If so, you can kind of automate the job using two programs, one (in the
master) who 'upload' (via ftp maybe, scp or whatever) in this middle
place, ando other in the slave who 'download' and process the file using
pg_restore.

some sort of diff?
dump the tables you are interested in in a known order
(perhaps use "copy from select .... order by .... " )
compare it with yesterdays
ship the differences.
dump the table at the remote end
apply the patch
truncate the table and load the patched version.
