Hi,
pg_restore can restore a single table provided that the appropriate switch was used when creating the dump with pg_dumpall.
If the dump is in plain text then you need to strip out the surplus data and feed the rest to psql. If the file is too big for vi, try a stream editor such as sed or a simple perl script.

Greetings,
I have been asked by a programmer to restore a single table from a PG_DUMPALL backup.
Is this possible, and if so, would anyone be able to tell me please, what PSQL options and switches are required? Running PostgreSQL 8.1.3.
Thanks in advance,
Jim.
