In-place data modification

Hello!

You can redirect the datanymizer output to the input of psql. But be careful not to accidentally damage some data.

Does this suit your use case?

Thanks for the advice, but looks like not, actually :(
Obviously I can redirect output and push data back only to different database, not the same which is the source for pg_datanymizer:
this wont work →
pg_datanymizer -c config.yaml postgres://test:test@localhost/test | psql postgres://test:test@localhost/test
this will work →
pg_datanymizer -c config.yaml postgres://test:test@localhost/test | psql postgres://test:test@localhost/test_new

Hello again.

Implementation of such a feature will require quite a lot of work, and therefore we will not be able to implement it in the near future. I'm sorry.

You can also dump to a new database, then drop the old one, and then rename the new one.
