Re: Comparing two tables of different database

In case dblink was not installed, you could try the following:

1. dump only the data from the table from database 1
pg_dump -U username -a -d -t tablename dbname > tablename.sql

2. create a (temp) table in database 2
SELECT * INTO tablename_bak from tablename WHERE 1 = 2

3. restore the dumped data in the bak table in database 2
pg_restore -U username -a -t tablename_bak dbname tablename.sql

4.select * from tablename except select * from tablename_bak

or you could dump the data from both tables and use some kind of diff tool
