I'm looking in postgresql-8.2.1-US.pdf. The commands you are looking for are: pg_restore -l to get the toc pg_restore -L to use the toc If you open the resulting file from something like pg_restore -l > foo.toc it is just a plain text list of objects to restore.

Large objects are stored in a central table called pg_largeobject, so yes that would be accuarate. > > Another thing I couldn't find was how to dump roles using -Fc. > You can't; that is a known and irritating limitation.
