Re: Moving large table between servers: logical replication orpostgres_fdw

I tend to believe that a backup (pg_dump) in custom format (-F c) using multiple jobs (parallel) -> restore (pg_restore) also with multiple concurrent jobs would be better.

Greetings Folks,

I have a relatively large table (100m rows) that I want to move to a
new box with more resources. The table isn't doing anything...i.e its
not being updated or read from. Which approach would be faster to move
the data over:

  a). Use pg_fdw and do "create local_table as select * from foreign_table".
  b). setup logical replication between the two servers.

Regards,

Rhys
