Hi fellow database engineers,

I am currently on a project where i have read only access to a production
system (replicated) from where i want to copy data into another schema.
Ideally what i want to do is that if for an event happens in the replicated
schema (server#1) like something updates, then my database trigger runs and
copies data from server#1 to my 2nd schema (server#2) for which i have
read/write rights.

Is this something possible? I would create the trigger in the 2nd server
obviously since for first one i cant write anything.

Best
Bilal

You might try postgres_fdw:

https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/postgres-fdw.html

Set up a table in the second server that links to the other server. Then
you have access to the data on the second server.
