SQL solution using a simple `DO` block. This assumes you have a `<target_schema>.<target_table>` in place to receive the `INSERT`ed data; I would prefer this over e.g. a collective `CREATE TABLE` statement (which is _faster_) to explicitly define column types (and *typemods*) and keys/constraints: ```SQL DO $DO$ DECLARE _shm TEXT; _tbl TEXT; BEGIN FOR _shm, _tbl IN ( SELECT pt.schemaname, pt.tablename FROM pg_tables AS pt WHERE pt.schemaname = '<source_schema>' AND pt.tablename LIKE '<source_tables_common_name_pattern>' ) LOOP RAISE NOTICE 'Merging table: %.%...', _shm, _tbl; EXECUTE FORMAT( $FORMAT$ INSERT INTO <target_schema>.<target_table>(<optional_column_list>) ( SELECT * FROM %1$I.%2$I ); -- DROP TABLE %1$I.%2$I CASCADE; $FORMAT$, _shm, _tbl ); END LOOP; END; $DO$ ; ``` **Notes:** - **run the *outer* `LOOP` query individually prior to executing the `DO` block** to verfiy the correct tables are selected - `<source_tables_common_name_pattern>` needs to be used in conjunction with the `%` wildcard to make sense - `<optional_column_list>` should be used e.g. if you have an auto-incremental `PRIMARY KEY` identifier in the `<target_schema>.<target_table>` - you may want to also specify the exact columns in the `SELECT` list inside the `INSERT` statement, rather than using `*` - run `VACUUM ANALYZE <target_schema>.<target_table>` when done <br><br> - OPTIONALLY: uncomment the `DROP TABLE` statement if you want to also delete the current source table in one go - otherwise you can run this same `DO` block with only the `DROP TABLE` statement afterwards
