Re: Dumping part (not all) of the data in a database...methods?

[Andrew Edson <cheighlund@xxxxxxxxx>]

I am aware of this, yes, but the data in question is all (both sets) contained on a single table.  That's why I was looking for a way to do a 'dump where (select foo where bar = 'criteria')' structure.

you are aware you can dump a table at a time, right? pg_dump -t foo
dumps table foo. A partial dumping scheme would probably involve
using pg_dump with various flag in combination with a script that
makes a list of things to dump.
