Hi,
AFAIK, you can not do that with pg_dump ... but as you are working on only one table you can write the COPY command your self, and since version 8.2, you can write a SELECT query instead of a table name, like
COPY (SELECT * FROM country WHERE country_name LIKE 'A%') TO '/usr1/proj/bray/sql/a_list_countries.copy';
see http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.2/interactive/sql-copy.html for all the details
I hope this helps,

Objet : Re: [GENERAL] Dumping part (not all) of the data in a database...methods?
I am aware of this, yes, but the data in question is all (both sets) contained on a single table. That's why I was looking for a way to do a 'dump where (select foo where bar = 'criteria')' structure.

you are aware you can dump a table at a time, right? pg_dump -t foo
dumps table foo. A partial dumping scheme would probably involve
using pg_dump with various flag in combination with a script that
makes a list of things to dump.
