well, you certainly can dump and import just the schema... how are you
going to have this hypothetical partial dump program decide WHAT part of
the various database tables to dump? is the bulk of this data in 1 or
2 very large tables? you could dump everything but those 1 or 2 large
tables, then use some sort of COPY to CSV on those specific tables that
only selects some of the data (maybe by date, or by serial number, or
some other suitable key).
