The list approach for partial restore is also useful, thank you. On another note, I used to take full backups (entire database), however switched to table by table scheme in order to make it more VCS friendly. Namely, so I only check into github the dumps of the tables that are updated only. So, from that perspective, is there a dump-restore scenario that is widely used, but is also VCS friendly? To my knowledge, pg_restore does not restore backups that are in "plain text" format, and compressed formats such as "tar" would not be github friendly. -- Sent from: http://www.postgresql-archive.org/PostgreSQL-general-f1843780.html -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
