Export and Import Example
Note Best practice is to use get-exports and the owl_rule table post 2021.09 release. Please refer to the Export and Import API page for more details.
Steps
- Find your dataset.
- Pass your table to the following api call - http://<url>/v2/get-rules-export?dataset=public.transit_6.
- Run import on the desired environment, passing the output of the previous statement to the body of the request - http://<url>/v2/run-import.
The following function needs to be declared in the postgres metastore before this can run.
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION public.dump(p_schema text, p_table text, p_where text)
RETURNS SETOF text
LANGUAGE plpgsql
AS $function$
DECLARE
dumpquery_0 text;
dumpquery_1 text;
selquery text;
selvalue text;
valrec record;
colrec record;
BEGIN
-- ------ --
-- GLOBAL --
-- build base INSERT
-- build SELECT array[ ... ]
dumpquery_0 := 'INSERT INTO ' || quote_ident(p_schema) || '.' || quote_ident(p_table) || '(';

FOR colrec IN SELECT table_schema, table_name, column_name, data_type
