PGtool is a command-line tool designed to simplify some common maintenance tasks on PostgreSQL databases. It works with Python 2.7 and 3.5+ using the psycopg2 driver.
The easiest way to install it is using pip:
pip install pgtoolAvailable commands:
- cp SOURCE DEST
Uses CREATE DATABASE ... TEMPLATE to create a duplicate of a database. Additionally copies over database-specific settings.
When used with --force, an existing database with the same name as DEST is replaced, the original is renamed out of place in the form DEST_old_YYYYMMDD (unless --no-backup is specified).
- mv SOURCE DEST
Rename a database within a server.
When used with --force, an existing database with the same name as DEST is replaced, the original is renamed out of place in the form DEST_old_YYYYMMDD (unless --no-backup is specified).
- kill DBNAME [DBNAME ...]
Kills all active connections to the specified database(s).
- reindex IDXNAME [IDXNAME ...]
Uses CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY to create a duplicate index, then tries to swap the new index for the original.
The index swap is done using a short lock timeout to prevent it from interfering with running queries. Retries until the rename succeeds.

0.0.1 (2015-10-26)
- Initial public release, commands: 'cp', 'mv', 'kill' & 'reindex'
Code style:
- In general follow the Python PEP-8 coding style, except line length can go up to 120 chars.
- Strings that have meaning for humans use double quotes (
"), otherwise single quotes ('). When in doubt, don't worry about it. - Code should be compatible with both Python 2 and 3, preferably without version-specific conditionals.
Run the test suite using python setup.py test.
