New functions needed for importing

I've just stumbled upon a similar issue. @cyn-rus, did you manage to figure out how the ID is formed? ~It seems it's not that straightforward and might be something like database_name.server_name or fdw_name.server_name (though I tried these, and they didn't work either).~ I've created a new postgresql_server and the id seems to be equal to its name 🤔

[lancedikson]

Ok, a workaround I've applied is creating a new resource (with a new name, but similar params), and then editing the state file to match the name and id with the existing resource. After that I deleted the newly created resource, edited the terragrunt.hcl to have correct resource naming and tg plan now suggests no changes.

Though a working import functionality would be very much appreciated!

Hi @lancedikson @cyn-rus ,

You cannot import by name directly for the server?

terraform import  postgresql_server.warehouse_server server

For the user mapping it should be with:

terraform import postgresql_user_mapping.warehouse_server_dashboard dashboard.server

I'll add this to the documentation, meanwhile I close this issue but don't hesitate to open it back if the import doesn't work

Unfortunately importing via name doesn't seem to work. I get the dreaded Error: Cannot import non-existent remote object.
