I'm missing something, I guess. You would do a createdb, do a filesystem
copy of pg_log and one file into it, and then read data from the table
without having to restore the other tables in the database?
I'm just curious - when was the last time you restored a Postgres
database in this piecemeal manner, and how often do you do it?
