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;

Subject: [GENERAL] Transfer database tables to a schema
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
