Exporting a Single Database
Exporting a Database
You can use gs_dump to export data and all object definitions of a database from openGauss. You can specify the information to export as follows:
-
Export full information of a database, including its data and all object definitions.
You can use the exported information to create a database containing the same data as the current one.
-
Export all object definitions of a database, including the definitions of the database, functions, schemas, tables, indexes, and stored procedures.
You can use the exported object definitions to quickly create a database that is the same as the current one, except that the new database does not have data.
-
Export data of a database.
Procedure
-
Log in as the OS user omm to the primary node of the database.
-
Use gs_dump to export data of the userdatabase database.
