Rails的Rake任务用于销毁当前数据库中的所有表

namespace :db do
  # rake db:drop_all_tables
  task drop_all_tables: :environment do
    query = <<-QUERY
      SELECT
        table_name
      FROM
        information_schema.tables
      WHERE
        table_type = 'BASE TABLE'
      AND
        table_schema NOT IN ('pg_catalog', 'information_schema');
    QUERY

    connection = ActiveRecord::Base.connection
    results    = connection.execute query

    tables = results.map do |line|
      table_name = line['table_name']
    end.join ", "

    connection.execute "DROP TABLE IF EXISTS #{ tables } CASCADE;"
  end
end

我通过关注视图增强了jamie的bash方法，因为他只关注默认的表类型“base table”。

以下bash代码首先删除视图，然后删除所有其余视图

#!/usr/bin/env bash

PGDB="yourDB"
# By exporting user & pass your dont need to interactively type them on execution
export PGUSER="PGusername"
export PGPASSWORD="PGpassword"

VIEWS=`psql -d $PGDB -t --command "SELECT string_agg(table_name, ',') FROM information_schema.tables WHERE table_schema='public' AND table_type='VIEW'"`
BASETBLS=`psql -d $PGDB -t --command "SELECT string_agg(table_name, ',') FROM information_schema.tables WHERE table_schema='public' AND table_type='BASE TABLE'"`

echo Dropping views:${VIEWS}
psql $PGDB --command "DROP VIEW IF EXISTS ${VIEWS} CASCADE"
echo Dropping tables:${BASETBLS}
psql $PGDB --command "DROP TABLE IF EXISTS ${BASETBLS} CASCADE"

如果您无论如何都想对所有表进行核处理，可以通过将所有表放在一个语句中来省去诸如CASCADE之类的细节。这也使执行速度更快。

SELECT 'TRUNCATE TABLE ' || string_agg('"' || tablename || '"', ', ') || ';' 
FROM pg_tables WHERE schemaname = 'public';

直接执行：

DO $$
DECLARE tablenames text;
BEGIN    
    tablenames := string_agg('"' || tablename || '"', ', ') 
        FROM pg_tables WHERE schemaname = 'public';
    EXECUTE 'TRUNCATE TABLE ' || tablenames;
END; $$

如果适用，用DROP替换TRUNCATE。

为了方便将生成的SQL命令作为一个字符串返回，我稍微修改了Pablo的答案：

select string_agg('drop table "' || tablename || '" cascade', '; ') 
from pg_tables where schemaname = 'public'

继Pablo和LenW之后，这里有一个单行程序，它既准备又执行：

psql-U$PGUSER$PGDB-t-c“从pg_tables中选择'drop table\”'||tablename||'\“cascade；'，其中schemaname='public'”|psql-U$PGUSER$PGDB

注意：设置$PGUSER和$PGDB或将其替换为所需的值

只需执行以下查询：

DO $$ DECLARE
    r RECORD;
BEGIN
    FOR r IN (SELECT tablename FROM pg_tables WHERE schemaname = current_schema()) LOOP
        EXECUTE 'DROP TABLE IF EXISTS ' || quote_ident(r.tablename) || ' CASCADE';
    END LOOP;
END $$;
