I have to write a 700 GB large database to a dump to clean out a lot of dead records on an Ubuntu server with postgres 8.3.8. What is the proper procedure to succeed with this - last time the dump stopped at 3.8 GB size I guess. Should I combine the -Fc option of pg_dump and and the split command ?
I thought something like
"pg_dump -Fc test | split -b 1000m - testdb.dump"
might work ?
