Thread: exclude a table from pg_dump
Hi all,
is it possible to exclude a table from being pg_dumped?
In my case I need to backup everything except one table that is very large and I want to pg_dump it later
regards,
kostis.

Not really. If you knew there were no connections (and therefore
no-one changing data) you could do it in a shell script, passing the
-t option to pg_dump for each table except the one you want. But
that won't provide you with a truly guaranteed-consistent dump like a
normal pg_dump does.
I thought someone said something about adding a multiple-table
feature to the 7.3 pg_dump, but I just tried it on the beta, and it
didn't work differently than in 7.2.
