I would like to dump select tables from a database (omitting some tables).
It looks like pg_dump only allows you to dump the entire database or
select single tables to dump. Is there a way to specify to pg_dump a
list of tables to dump (or to omit)?
I can dump all the desired tables as single dumps, but
dump-many-single-tables approach is troublesome since I want to apply the
indexes at the end to make the restore more efficient (and to avoid
integrity checking until the entire database is restored)
Wouldn't that mean hand-editing the dumps to apply the indexes separately
(or at least last)? Or can I simply concatenate all these single-table
dumps and tell pg_restore to apply the indexes last?
Is there a simple way to accomplish this?
