Thread: FW: FW:

We normaly did an dump in a pipe then a compress into a second pipe and
then a split (in oracle).
But in my opinion it also should work with pg?

Roughly:

mknod my_pipe1 p
mknod my_pipe2 p
nohup compress < my_pipe1 > my_pipe2 &
nohup split -m 2000 < my_pipe1 &
nohup pg_dump > my_pipe1 &

But please try it out before doing it on a productive system!!!
Especially the restore.

How about

pg_dump | split -m 2000

?
