Re: pg_dump and table exclusion: multiple patterns

here is a strange behaviour:

I did first simplify my syntax with multiples -T flags:

pg_dump -i -v -nXXX -T '*2008*' -T '*2009*' -T '*201001*' -T '*201002*' .....

still not working.

But if I prefix my pattern with the schema name, then I finally get the expected result:

pg_dump -i -v -nXXX -T 'XXX.*2008*' -T ' XXX.*2009*' -T ' XXX.*201001*' -T XXX.'*201002*' .....

seems that the use of the -n flag requires to use these schema names within the patterns ...

  hello,
 
  I'm trying to export a schema with multiple table exclusions:
 
    pg_dump -i -v -nXXX -T '*20((08[0-9]+)|(09[0-9]+)|(100[1-8][0-9]+)|(1009[0-1][0-9]+))'
   
  unfortunately, the filter does not work as expected.(no table at all are excluded)
 
  when I try the same pattern with psql dt\, I get the expected list of tables to exclude...
 
 
  pg_dump --version
  pg_dump (PostgreSQL) 8.3.9

 
 
  I'd appreciate some help.
 
  best regards,
