Keeping Track of Data Exports and Imports
Jim_Knicely
- Select Field - Administrator
You can import a table or specific columns in a table from another Vertica database. The table receiving the copied data must already exist, and have columns that match (or can be coerced into) the data types of the columns you are copying from the other database. You can import data from an earlier Vertica release, if the earlier release is a version of the last major release before the target database release.
The V_MONITOR.IMPORT_EXPORT_REQUESTS system table keeps a history of your export and imports!
Example:
dbadmin->vmart@sandbox1=> CONNECT TO VERTICA test_db USER dbadmin PASSWORD 'password' ON 'XXX.XX.XX.XXX', 5433;
CONNECT
dbadmin->vmart@sandbox1=> COPY biggie FROM VERTICA test_db.biggie;
Rows Loaded

(1 row)
dbadmin->vmart@sandbox1=>* EXPORT TO VERTICA test_db.biggie AS SELECT * FROM biggie LIMIT 10;
Rows Exported
