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
