Dear All,

I'm currently doing some database design work and find myself entering
loads of test records into my database tables.

Occasionally I want to 'flush' out the database (i.e. keep all tables,
views, etc. but delete all records). Currently I have to pg_dump the
database and then use a text editor to cut out all the 'copy' statements
out and recreate a 'new' database.

Is there a way of flushing the content of all tables?

Thanks for any help you may provide.

Cheers,

Stuart.
