export schema dumps only the chosen schema (tables, views, functions, privileges) to a SQL file you can version-control or restore elsewhere.
ParadeDB wraps pg_dump so you can save one PostgreSQL schema—tables, views, functions, triggers, and grants—into a readable .sql file. Only DDL is extracted; no data unless you ask for it.
Provide the database, schema, and output path. ParadeDB forwards them to pg_dump, adding connection pooling and progress output.
Run the command from your terminal or Galaxy SQL editor.It creates ecommerce_schema.sql containing CREATE statements for Customers, Orders, Products, and OrderItems.
Add the --data
switch. ParadeDB pipes both structure and INSERT commands, useful for quick cloning of small schemas.
Your role needs CONNECT on the database and USAGE on the schema plus SELECT on all objects. Lack of any privilege aborts the export.
Commit the .sql file to Git.Teammates can track migrations, review DDL changes, and restore environments reliably.
Yes. Feed the generated file into psql on any server running an equal or newer PostgreSQL version, with ParadeDB installed if it uses Parade-specific types.
Exporting a schema with ParadeDB is a one-line, idempotent operation that simplifies backups, reviews, and CI deployments.
.
Only if your dump uses ParadeDB-specific types. Pure SQL objects restore fine on standard PostgreSQL.
Yes. Pass the --schema flag multiple times or use a comma-separated list: --schema public --schema ecommerce.
Use cron plus ParadeDB CLI, or Galaxy’s upcoming workflows, to run the command nightly and push to object storage.
