It seams there is no option like that in pg_dump or pg_restore. But You
can manualy do it in the dump or with a sed command finding the lines
begining by CREATE INDEX and removing them.
We also have a big database and since postgres 8.4 pg_restore is much
faster with the option --jobs=x
where x is the number of cores you have in your microprocessor. It then
divides the restore script into different jobs and goes faster using
multithreading.
example:
pg_restore --username postgres --jobs=4 --dbname=your_db_name your_dump_file
Here is if you have a quad core.

Hi,
im trying to restore 250GB database, but indexing takes too long, so
restore takes more then 12h.
Is it possible to disable indexing while restoring database?
Thanx in advance
