PACID

Dumps a PostgreSQL database schema and splits the dump into single files for easy diffing.

A git commit is created automatically as well.

If you know how the "RANCID" software operates, this follows the same model.

Setup:

git init out

---

With PostgreSQL <= 9.2, to get nicely formatted view definitions:

./patch-pg_dump/patch.sh

Note that the patch.sh script makes an assumption about the PostgreSQL version and the location of the pg_dump binary.

Run:

One shot example:

PATH=.:$PATH PGUSER=user PGDATABASE=database PGPASSWORD=password PGHOST=host ./pacid dest-dir

Best put that into a cronjob, like this:

@daily PATH=.:$PATH PGUSER=user PGDATABASE=database PGPASSWORD=password PGHOST=host ./pacid dest-dir && git push -q
