How to dump, edit dump and restore PGSTAC db?

[luipir]

hi, I'm using standard eoAPI docker compose and correctly created stac catalog with relative collections and items.
Now I need to move the db in another stac db but editing some items asset urls before to populate the new db,

What would be the the correct procedure? I did pg_dump in sql format and restored via psql but some import error are triggered and result stac catalog result empty to stac-browser.

So my question is, what would be the proper dump/restore procedure for a stac DB?

Hi @luipir! How I solved it in the past: I created a dump using standard PostgreSQL tools, then converted that dump into a new ndjson file containing properly formatted STAC items, which then ingested into a new database using pypgstac CLI.

tnx @drnextgis too many manual steps that can be wrong! so lack of proper pypgstac dump command in ndjson to be used in pypgstac load command?

[drnextgis]

That would be great to have!

did you dump all or just data and blobs? e.g. -a and -b pg_dump options?

[drnextgis]

I'm not entirely sure, but it's most likely just the data.

We hope at one point we would have a dump tool either in pypgstac or in https://github.com/stac-utils/stac-rs but we will need $$ for this at the moment
