pg_dumpall custom format?

От
Thom Brown
Дата:
Hi,

I noticed that while pg_dump can output a custom format, effectively compressing the output, pg_dumpall doesn't.  Is there a reason for this?  And is there a way to get pg_dumpall to compress it's output?

Thanks

Thom

Thanks for the suggestion Marc.  It would still be nice to have the custom format included as an option though with pg_restore supporting it, just for consistency.

I will, however, follow your recommendation.

Hello,
 
you can first pipe the output of pg_dump to a compression tool:
 
pg_dump..... | gzip > file.
 
instead of gzip, I'm using pigz which is faster thanks multithreading.

I'm bringing this thread back to life to see if there are any further thoughts on this.  It would be nice to have a complete backup of a database cluster in custom format, and use pg_restore to restore an individual database in the same way that it can restore individual schemas and tables etc.

Thanks

Thom

Nope. But this is something I'd like to have too. I didn't actually look
into it much more (I mean, in the code), but I intend to work on this
for 9.1 (and other pg_dump stuff).

You're now my favourite PostgreSQL developer!  Thanks Guillaume!

Don't get your expectations too high. I just said I'll try :)

I guess this will also require changes to pg_restore to support:

-g globals only
-r roles only
-t tablespaces (conflicts with pg_restore's table specification of -t)

And of course being able to restore individual databases and specifying restoration of a table/function/trigger within specific databases.  I guess that could be done by specifying a database to restore, then asking for a single function.

e.g.:

pg_restore --database=my_source_database -P my_function(argtype) -d my_destination_database /database/backup/file

And adding database entry support to the listing file.

And adding a role and a tablespace entries. And prefixing every object
with the database they belong too.

It won't be easy, but it's really something lacking right now. Or at
least, I think so :)
