Thread: pg_dump more than one table in one command?
Good morning, Under postgreSQL 8.0, could someone tell me how to pg_dump more than one tables at the same time please? I tried to do something like: pg_dump -h machineName -U username --inserts --column-inserts --file=dump.sql --table=t1 t2 ... ...tN -d databaseName ; Thanks a lot!
You must specify --table (or -t) once for each of the tables, ie:
pg_dump -h machineName -U username --inserts --column-inserts --file=dump.sql --table=t1 --table=t2 ..... ..... --table=tN -d databaseName ;
