ing33kon Fork a distributed Postgres database with Citus

it's a very useful feature to have.

if you use Heroku Postgres Database ( production tier ), they have a fork feature as well.

if you are running Postgres on your own and for relatively small loads, it's quite trivial to create a copy of the db using Template

    CREATE DATABASE new_db TEMPLATE = old_db;

https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.2/static/manage-ag-templat...

While not the responsibility of a DB vendor, it would be nice if this includes some Data anonymization/randomization option.
