How to restore public schema into different schema

Question

I have a dump, where the data and the structure is in the public schema. I want to restore it into a schema with a custom name - how can I do that?

EDIT V 2:

Answer 1

Near the beginning of a dump file (created with pg_dump databasename) is a line:

SET search_path = public, pg_catalog;

Just change it to:

SET search_path = your_schema_name, pg_catalog;

Also you'll need to search for

ALTER TABLE public.

and replace with:

ALTER TABLE your_schema_name.

Answer 2

@Tometzky's solution isn't quite right, at least with 9.2's pg_dump. It'll create the table in the new schema, but pg_dump schema-qualifies the ALTER TABLE ... OWNER TO statements, so those will fail:

postgres=# CREATE DATABASE demo;
\cCREATE DATABASE
postgres=# \c demo
You are now connected to database "demo" as user "postgres".
demo=# CREATE TABLE public.test ( dummy text );
CREATE TABLE
demo=# \d
        List of relations
 Schema | Name | Type  |  Owner   
--------+------+-------+----------
 public | test | table | postgres
(1 row)
demo=# \q
$
$ pg_dump -U postgres -f demo.sql demo
$ sed -i 's/^SET search_path = public, pg_catalog;$/SET search_path = testschema, pg_catalog;/' demo.sql
$ grep testschema demo.sql 
SET search_path = testschema, pg_catalog;
$ dropdb -U postgres demo
$ createdb -U postgres demo
$ psql -U postgres -c 'CREATE SCHEMA testschema;' demo
CREATE SCHEMA
$ psql -U postgres -f demo.sql -v ON_ERROR_STOP=1 -v QUIET=1 demo
psql:demo.sql:40: ERROR:  relation "public.test" does not exist
$ psql demo
demo=> \d testschema.test 
  Table "testschema.test"
 Column | Type | Modifiers 
--------+------+-----------
 dummy  | text | 

You will also need to edit the dump to remove the schema-qualification on public.test or change it to the new schema name. sed is a useful tool for this.

I could've sworn the correct way to do this was with pg_dump -Fc -n public -f dump.dbbackup then pg_restore into a new schema, but I can't seem to find out exactly how right now.

Update: Nope, it looks like sed is your best bet. See I want to restore the database with a different schema
