Welcome to psql 8.1.10, the PostgreSQL interactive terminal.

Type: \copyright for distribution terms
\h for help with SQL commands
\? for help with psql commands
\g or terminate with semicolon to execute query
\q to quit

alvherre=# create table foo (a serial);
NOTICE: CREATE TABLE will create implicit sequence "foo_a_seq" for serial colum
n "foo.a"
CREATE TABLE
alvherre=# \q
$ pg_dump -t foo | psql foo
