[GENERAL] copy expensive local view to an RDS instance

2014-05-06 Thread Marcus Engene

Hi,

I have a local db behind a firewall etc. Basically, I'd like to do what 
I'd locally would...


create table abc
as
select
*
from
local_expensive_view;

abc - on RDS
local_expensive_view - on local machine

How would you go about doing this?

Thanks,
Marcus

A very quick search shows that rds supports dblink, so perhaps that would
work.

Then I'd need to open our servers to external visits. It would be lovely 
if dblink_exec could push a subselect of data instead instead of pull 
from RDS. Does this make sense?

Is the idea to pull data from the RDS to your local machine? If so, dblink
or possibly plproxy[1] should be able to do that.

Sorry, no, I want to push data from my local machine but I've only seen 
examples of push with dblink_exec and litteral values rather than a 
subselect or smth.


Best regards,

This is sort of getting away from Postgres, but if the RDS instance is
in a VPC, you could put a VPN on the VPC so dblink wouldn't have to go
over the open Internet.
