> I'm trying to figure out how to dump only the table definitions, well those and things they need directly, like sequences & types. What I do NOT want are all the millions (not literally but it feels like it :)) of functions we have. Triggers would be all right if I must, as we only have a few of those.
Try "pg_dump -Fc" followed by pg_restore -l. You can edit the list emitted there, then use it with pg_restore -L.
