Обсуждение: pg_restore should accept multiple -t switches?
Hi, pg_dump allows us to select multiple target tables by using multiple -t switches, but pg_restore does not. So, when restoring multiple tables, we have to run pg_restore more than once as follows. This is a pain to me. $ pg_restore -t tbl1 db.dump $ pg_restore -t tbl2 db.dump Is it worth allowing pg_restore to accept multiple -t switches as well as pg_dump? $ pg_restore -t tbl1 -t tbl2 db.dump Regards, -- Fujii Masao NIPPON TELEGRAPH AND TELEPHONE CORPORATION NTT Open Source Software Center

It's on the TODO list already, no?

Thanks! I found it on the list and understood there are other many restrictions in pg_restore's -t switch.

Use the list facilities, options -l and -L. > Is it worth allowing pg_restore to accept multiple -t > switches as well as pg_dump? I don't think so. Regards, -- dim
