Thread: A powerful dump utility

Hello!


Is there an utility to dump PosgreSQL database with possibility to set order of
tables?

I have a situation when one of my tables was created with constraint check depending on
another table. But when I do dump, my dependable table dumped first, and then when I
restore my database it fails to load my data because of constraint check.

I wrote my own script and first I dump schema of my database and then all tables in
order I want. But dump of databse schema doesn't include:

SELECT setval ('"vl_id"', 198, true);

to setup my sequences well.

So are there any possibilities to solve my problem?

Yes.  Use the "custom" format of pg_dump, use pg_restore to get the
catalogue, and then re-order the files in the catalogue.  See the man
pages for pg_dump and pg_restore.
