Hi,
I observe when using pg_dump like this:
pg_dump -h localhost -p 5432 -U dbcoreuser -Ft -f abc.tar --no-privileges --data-only \
--exclude-table="public.(jobs|queues|results) \
--table=public.django_migrations \
--table=public.paiyroll_input \
--table=public.*_id_seq \
--verbose foo
that the dumped data contains the content of the two tables, and the two sequences. (FWIW, the above command is actually submitted via a Python subprocess call, so quoting should not be an issue). The verbose output confirms this:
pg_dump: processing data for table "public.django_migrations"
pg_dump: processing data for table "public.paiyroll_input"
pg_dump: executing SEQUENCE SET django_migrations_id_seq
pg_dump: executing SEQUENCE SET paiyroll_input_id_seq
Note that the instance "foo" contains many other tables, whose sequences I was expecting to be included. To confirm this, if I drop the second "--table", the verbose log shows only:
pg_dump: processing data for table "public.django_migrations"
pg_dump: executing SEQUENCE SET django_migrations_id_seq
My conclusion is that - despite what I understood from the pg_dump docs - the use of "--table=public.*id_seq" does not include all the sequences in fo, only those named by another --table.
Did I misunderstand, or formulate the command incorrectly?
Thanks, Shaheed
