Hi, today I needed to re-create certain records deleted from a mysql
database, so I restored an old backup, opened a terminal and logged in
to the old database using the "mysql" command line utility, then opened
a new terminal with mysql connected to the production database. Then did
a "select * from table where id=xxx \G;" to display a record, then, on
the other terminal I had to write "insert into table(field1,
field2,...,fieldN) values(...);" for each record.
While doing that I tought of a neat feature that psql could provide,
that is something like "\insert for select * from table where id=xxx;"
this should create the insert command for the requested query.
Is such a thing already present in psql?.
I may be missing something but:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.3/interactive/sql-insert.html
INSERT INTO films SELECT * FROM tmp_films WHERE date_prod < '2004-05-07';
or are you thinking of something that takes a SELECT query and turns it
into a series of INSERT queries.
The only way I can of doing this is to use pg_dump -t some_table -a
--inserts or --column-inserts
