Hi, today I needed to re-create certain records deleted from a mysql database, so I restored an old backup, opened a terminal and logged in to the old database using the "mysql" command line utility, then opened a new terminal with mysql connected to the production database. Then did a "select * from table where id=xxx \G;" to display a record, then, on the other terminal I had to write "insert into table(field1, field2,...,fieldN) values(...);" for each record.

While doing that I tought of a neat feature that psql could provide, that is something like "\insert for select * from table where id=xxx;" this should create the insert command for the requested query.

Is such a thing already present in psql?.

Regards,
