9.3 pg_restore --help output:
-I, --index=NAME restore named index -n, --schema=NAME restore only objects in this schema -P,
--function=NAME(args) restore named function -t, --table=NAME restore named table(s) -T, --trigger=NAME
restore named trigger --section=SECTION restore named section (pre-data, data, or post-data)
9.4 pg_restore --help output:
-I, --index=NAME restore named indexes -n, --schema=NAME restore only objects in these schemas
-P,--function=NAME(args) restore named functions -t, --table=NAME restore named tables -T,
--trigger=NAME restore named triggers --section=SECTION restore named sections (pre-data, data, or
post-data)
This is a valuable feature change, but I think the help output is
unhelpful. The left side has a singular placeholder, but the right side
talks about objects in plural. How do I actually specify multiple
indexes? Is is --index=foo,bar? It's --index=foo --index=bar, but
that's unclear from the help.
I think it would be clearer to write something like
-I, --index=NAME restore named indexes (repeat for multiple)
or perhaps make a note at the bottom
The options -I, -n, -P, -t, -T, --section can be combined and specified multiple times to select multiple
objects.
Other ideas?
