I use postgres 7.2.1 (debian woody) and PHP.
I've two databases (foo and bar for example) with the same table (ie.
stamps).
It's possible with a single query transfer the data from the stamps
table in db foo to the stamps table in db bar?
Or I need a row by row copy? Or maybe a dump on temp file?
(with one db and two tables with the same record I can use INSERT INTO
foo SELECT * FROM bar).
Thanks.

You might want to look in the contrib/ folder of the source distribution
(or the equivalent in your packaged installation for "dblink". Haven't
used it myself, but it can certainly do what you want here.
