Re: Re: Copying data from one table of one database to other table f other database

Thanks folks!
Following command worked for me


psql -h x.x.x.x -U postgres -d securez -c " copy  alerts to stdout "  |
psql -h x.x.x.x -U postgres -d p -c " copy alerts from stdin "

but
psql -h x.x.x.x -U postgres -d securez -c " copy (select * from alerts)
to stdout "  | psql -h x.x.x.x -U postgres -d p -c " copy alerts from
stdin "

is giving me syntax error as

ERROR:  syntax error at or near "("
LINE 1:  copy (select * from alerts) to stdout

Any idea ?

you can't



you can do this however:

 psql -c " copy (select * from table1) to stdout " database1 | psql -c "
copy table2 from stdin " database2
