We use pg_dump nightly to dump data from all tables in our databases (only
table data, makes restore easier, trust me on that).
My question is this:
I have many tables that have millions of rows.
Let's say I start the pg_dump...
Then, an update in a transaction occurs that updates 3 different tables
over a period of time.
Will some of the pg_dump table data be "out of sync"?
How exactly does pg_dump (if at all) handle transactions/table changes?
Thanks for the info.
