There isn't any provision for doing that automatically; it would be a bit tough to determine exactly what the "full definition" consists of in a way that makes everybody happy. (For instance, how about tables that are targets of foreign key references? Functions that are depended on by check constraints or indexes? And so on.) What you can do is use the --list option to get a list of all the objects in the dump, edit that down to what you want, then use the --use-list option to restore the stuff in your abbreviated list. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-admin mailing list (pgsql-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-admin
