darkblue_B: hi MartinSpott darkblue_B: we were working on the OSGeo liveDVD last night darkblue_B: I moved over a PostGIS database darkblue_B: one of the others asked if I could write up a note on "How To" MartinSpot: Hi darkblue_B, "ho to move a PosiGIS DB" ? darkblue_B: its not that much.. but, since the database was created from Templte, spatial_ref_sys and geometry_colums already existed darkblue_B: yes darkblue_B: there were about hmm 15 tables? darkblue_B: in Postgres its work to do anyhting to them.. like change the owner.. darkblue_B: I'm sure you have ways you have developed to do such things darkblue_B: your database is so well maintained! MartinSpot: Really ? darkblue_B: you and the others I should say darkblue_B: ;-) darkblue_B: only you know the bad parts darkblue_B: to me, it looks great MartinSpot: Well, I'm casting everything into scripts, thus I have a pretty good overview about what's actually done on the DB. darkblue_B: right MartinSpot: Actually everything started by having one table (plus two little helpers) that contain everything I need to build the DB structure from MartinSpot: .... plus a couple of cascaded shell scripts to generate the respective SQL maintenance scripts. MartinSpot: Now, is there anything missing for your HowTo ? darkblue_B: Its not written@ darkblue_B: !! darkblue_B: I have 'real work' too MartinSpot: Ah, sure darkblue_B: well we made a template_postgis darkblue_B: with spatial_ref_sys populated darkblue_B: then for the 15 tables, and 4 views..
