Thread: pg_dump schma while excluding specific table
When I issue: pg_dump newdb > /DUMPDIR/newdb.dmp -n dev -T corgi -w -v -F c 2> /DUMPDIR/newdb.log I get a dump of the entire dev schema. My goal is to dump the dev schema minus the corgi table. How can I adjust my script to perform this function? Thanks.

This worked for me pg_dump -s -T product_feed_data staging_feed > sf.sql Where staging_feed is that database and product_feed_data is the table I excluded: grep product_feed_data sf.sql | grep -v product_feed_data_ COMMENT ON TABLE product_key IS 'A temporary table used to sync product_feed_data.does_exist_in_product. ...

I'm using 9.0.3. I've tried several permutations of this script and still I get a dump of the entire schema. The corgi table is still included when I need it excluded.

You may be getting bit by search path issues: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.0/interactive/app-pgdump.html "Note: The behavior of the -t switch is not entirely upward compatible with pre-8.2 PostgreSQL versions. Formerly, writing -t tab would dump all tables named tab, but now it just dumps whichever one is visible in your default search path. To get the old behavior you can write -t '*.tab'. Also, you must write something like -t sch.tab to select a table in a particular schema, rather than the old locution of -n sch -t tab. " While the above shows -t the same applies to -T. -- Adrian Klaver adrian.klaver@gmail.com
BINGO! Thanks everyone. That did the trick! On Thu, 2011-11-03 at 12:56 -0700, Ioana Danes wrote: > > > > > pg_dump newdb > /DUMPDIR/newdb.dmp -n dev -T corgi -w -v -F c 2> > > /DUMPDIR/newdb.log > > > > Try: -T dev.corgi instead of -T corgi > >
