Thread: pg_dump to include multiple tables

Hi All,

I want to  dump the database by using pg_dump command but the problem is the
version at the server is 7.4 which doesn't support the provision for
excluding tables as in version 8.2.

There are 500+ tables in the database,from which 15-20 are of huge sizes.I
want to exclude them.Is there any way to do it?

I knw that I have to use include instead of excluding the tables.Do I have
to include each and every tables manually or is there way to do that?

Do i have to write the script for this? if yes, how should I proceed?

Please help me out with this issue.

Thanks in Advance.


Cheers,
Cha

The v8.2 pg_dump will be able to dump data from the v7.4 server, so
use a newer pg_dump. Note that you may have difficulty loading the
dump file created by the newer version into an older server. But
hopefully you're upgrading, as 7.4 is getting a little long in the
tooth.
