Folks,
I have a couple of databases that should really be schemas in the same
database. I tried to find suggestions on how to easily move all the
tables/sequences/etc. from the public schema in a database to a different
schema in a different database, but came up blank. If anyone has a
suggestion it would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Peter Darley

TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command
(send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to majordomo@postgresql.org)

Try this:
(tested for PostgreSQL 7.4)
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION move_relation(VARCHAR, VARCHAR, VARCHAR)
RETURNS BOOL
AS '
-- $1 is the table name
-- $2 is the source schema
-- $3 is the destination schema
--
UPDATE pg_catalog.pg_class
SET relnamespace = (SELECT oid FROM pg_catalog.pg_namespace
WHERE nspname = $3)
WHERE relnamespace = (SELECT oid FROM pg_catalog.pg_namespace
WHERE nspname = $2)
AND relname = $1;

UPDATE pg_catalog.pg_type
SET typnamespace = (SELECT oid FROM pg_catalog.pg_namespace
WHERE nspname = $3)
WHERE typnamespace = (SELECT oid FROM pg_catalog.pg_namespace
WHERE nspname = $2)
AND typname = $1;

SELECT TRUE;
' LANGUAGE SQL;

Er ... what about the indexes belonging to the relation?

Ok, I see what you mean. I was looking at pg_index, when the indexes are
also listed in pg_class. I will have to add this and the pg_depend stuff.

Best Wishes,
Chris Travers

TIP 9: the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your
joining column's datatypes do not match
