My development methodology is to create scripts that init the db, and load test data, as I make changes.
Now, I am starting to move toward a test instance with real data. The end user has provided "real" test data, n spreadsheets. I have the inputing of data from these working OK. (takes a bit of hand work). What I would like to do, is continue to init the "test" database. To make that easy, I would like to be able to "export" individual tables, so I can use the scripts to reload them. I prefer not to have to convert these to my load script format.
Is there a way to "export" a single table, that can be easily re "imported"?

It may be a strange suggestion but did you consider containers like Docker? It's been a great help on a 100GB+ test database. Successful changes were committed, failed changes were rolled back creating a new instance based on the same image (with data preloaded). It takes seconds to do a rollback.
