Thread: pg_dump : option --exclude-schema not recognized
Hi all ! I am trying to exclude just one schema of my dump. pg_dump -N myschema or pg_dump --exclude-schema=myschema both tell me that the option is unknown. I am using the win32 binary distribution v8.1.4 (pg_dump --version says 8.1.4 too). Is this normal ? Thanks ! -- Arnaud

It's not in 8.1 - you must have been reading the 8.2 docs http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/static/app-pgdump.html -- Richard Huxton Archonet Ltd

Yes, but I wanted to limit the size of the dump : I have a schema containing a lot of spatial entities, very big and useless in a backup. I will keep dumping the schemas one by one for now, it's fine. Thanks again !

Just remember that dumping things that way means you won't have a consistent backup of your data. -- Jim Nasby jim.nasby@enterprisedb.com EnterpriseDB http://enterprisedb.com 512.569.9461 (cell)
