Re: Synchronizing a table that is two different databases : Need to dump a table a insert from db1 and change the insert statements into UPDATE statements

Thanks but I did look at the examples in
http://www.the-art-of-web.com/sql/upsert/ before I sent out an email but I
could not apply it in my case. I need a broader clue for my case. Like each
UPDATE statement should update each column for each *br_cde* (primary key)
for this *table* .

Hey,

"upsert"

You'll find a lot of answer on hte web,

See for example

Hi all

Synchronizing a *table* that is in two different databases(e.g *db1 and db2*).

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*. Where the record does not exist I need to insert that
record. There is more than 1000 INSERTS I need to convert to UPDATES for
the same table. Please help .

*Example:*

Below it's the INSERT from postgres 9.1.2 DATABASE which should convert to
UPDATE statement.

INSERT INTO* table* (br_cde, br_desc, br_active, br_closed, grp_cde,
ctry_cde, state_cde, br_addr_line1, br_addr_line2, br_addr_line3,
