Converting Copy to insert statement in backup file - Mailing list pgsql-sql

Hello,

I have a backup cron job (shown below) but its too big and there are times that I want to just cut out from the text file certain areas to restore data in a specific table… Looking in the file, I notice there is a “copy” command.. Someone told me that there was  a parameter that I could use to convert the copy to insert so I could easily cut it out of the file and run it on its own ..Any ideas

su -c '/usr/bin/pg_dump -U postgres -o -C ttms |gzip > /home/hrd/ttmsqltrams/sqlbackup.gz' postgres
