I don't know if this was the intent but it did provide me with what I
thought was a good idea.
* Snapshot a schema / tablespace / database to another schema /
tablespace / database.
The applications for this could be
* an alternative to the existing backup methods
* using the copy for testing purposes without having to create-drop database
* providing stock data for application demos without fear of losing
the original
* quick recovery to a known good schema and data
Could the mechanics behind pg_start_backup() assist with the
development of such a feature?
It's just a rough idea.
