Re: [SPAM] Restore single table from pg_dumpall.

Restore single table from pg_dumpall.Hi,

pg_restore can restore a single table provided that the appropriate switch
was used when creating the dump with pg_dumpall.

If the dump is in plain text then you need to strip out the surplus data and
feed the rest to psql. If the file is too big for vi, try a stream editor
such as sed or a simple perl script.

Subject: [SPAM] [NOVICE] Restore single table from pg_dumpall.

Greetings,

I have been asked by a programmer to restore a single table from a
PG_DUMPALL backup.

Is this possible, and if so, would anyone be able to tell me please, what
PSQL options and switches are required? Running PostgreSQL 8.1.3.

Thanks in advance,

Jim.
