Thread: pg_dump question (exclude schemas)
I want to backup a database but exclude certain schemas with a patter.
I have 100 schemas with the pattern: 'sch_000', 'sch_001', and so on.
Will this work?
$pg_dump <other_options> --exclude-schema='sch_*'
this does not seem to exclude all schemas with this pattern ( 'sch_*' ), anything wrong here?
thanks

What version of Postgres? What is the complete command line? Does it exclude any of the schemas? > > thanks > > > J.V. -- Adrian Klaver adrian.klaver@gmail.com

The option is fine and works for me on 9.2.4, I suspect the <other options> could do a clash with the -N (exclude-schema). Luca

When both -n and -N are given, the behavior is to dump just the schemas that match at least one -n switch but no -N switches. If -N appears without -n, then schemas matching -N are excluded from what is otherwise a normal dump. -- View this message in context: http://postgresql.1045698.n5.nabble.com/pg-dump-question-exclude-schemas-tp5768872p5769872.html Sent from the PostgreSQL - general mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
