Description:
Hi,
The pg_dump page mentions:
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/app-pgdump.html#PG-DUMP-EXAMPLES
==
To dump all schemas whose names start with east or west and end in gsm,
excluding any schemas whose names contain the word test:
$ pg_dump -n 'east*gsm' -n 'west*gsm' -N '*test*' mydb > db.sql
The same, using regular expression notation to consolidate the switches:
$ pg_dump -n '(east|west)*gsm' -N '*test*' mydb > db.sql
==
However the manual doesn't mention anything about regular expressions
otherwise.
If it is possible to use regular expressions then the examples would have
issues:
east*gsm would match easgsm, eastgsm, eastttttgsm, but not east.gsm or
east_tower.gsm
(east|west)*gsm would match gsm, eastgsm, eastwesteastgsm, but not east.gsm
or east_tower.gsm
Perhaps regular expressions are not supported, but simply some sort of glob
expression?
