Features

• PostgreSQL → PostgreSQL and MySQL → MySQL cloning
• 11-phase ordered copy: schemas, extensions, types, sequences, tables, data, indexes, foreign keys, views, functions, triggers
• Streaming transfer: server-side cursors + batched inserts (no memory issues on large DBs)
• Checkpoint/resume: interrupt anytime with Ctrl+C, resume with --resume
• Conflict strategies: overwrite (default), skip, fail
• Table filtering: --include-tables and --exclude-tables with glob patterns
• Rich progress UI: live progress bars, summary tables
• Structured logging: file-based logs via structlog

export DB_CLONE_SOURCE_URL="postgresql://user:pass@host:5432/db"
export DB_CLONE_TARGET_URL="postgresql://user:pass@host:5432/db_clone"
export DB_CLONE_BATCH_SIZE=5000
export DB_CLONE_LOG_LEVEL=INFO
