These two databases are not exactly similar, but few tables on each of these Databases needs to be exactly the same, in this case db1 is the reliable one, hence that’s why I need to update db2 with what it’s in db1.

Please help me with this. I need to dump a table as INSERTS from db1 (postgres 9.1.2) and change the INSERT statements into UPDATE statements in order to apply that change in db2(postgres 8.3.0.112) which has the same table as db1.

Option 1: If you just want to do a full copy of db1.foo to db2.foo, then do that. Dump foo from db1, truncate foo in db2 and load db2.foo from the dump. But you might not be able to do that (foreign keys and such). In that case.. Option 2: Dump the table from db1, then load it into a table with a different name ("bar") in db2. Then you can do this: begin; update foo set br_desc = bar.br_desc , br_active = bar.br_active (rest of columns) where foo.br_cde = bar.br_cde; insert into foo (br_cde, br_desc, br_active, ...) select br_cde, br_desc, br_active, .... from bar where not exists ( select * from foo where foo.br_cde = bar.br_cde); commit; CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE The contents of and attachments to this e-mail are intended for the addressee only, and may contain the confidential information of Argility (Proprietary) Limited and/or its subsidiaries.
