Re: Add --include-table-data-where option to pg_dump, to export onlya subset of table data

That I would agree with if in fact it's true people want that, but that wasn't how the problem trying to be solved was communicated.  From what I read in the initial examples given, just using psql is more than sufficient in those cases.

I will grant that copying the structure and data at the same time would be much easier, however.  Because using psql, you need pg_dump to create your structure then a separate psql script to copy the data.

But again with --data-only examples given, it's so easy to do that with psql copy I just don't understand the value of the feature unless you really are saying you require the dependency resolution.

I agree with some of the hesitation of complicating the syntax and allowing too much customization for what pg_dump is designed for.  Really, if you need more customization, copy gives you that.  So I don't personally consider it a missing feature because both tools have different uses and I haven't found that any of this disrupts my workflow.  FWIW...

Thanks,
