Re: creating a table based on a table in stored in another database

I can add that I would like to do this in my java application.
E.i. just create an empty table in database1 which has the same column names and types as a table stored in database2.

I tried this for a start:
stmnt = dbConnection.prepareStatement("select dblink_connect('myconn', 'dbname=gemaps')");
resultset = stmnt.executeQuery();

but got ERROR: function dblink_connect(unknown, unknown) does not exist

/P

Create a schema-only dump and restore it into the other database.
