We are using Linux RedHat. Thank you. If you want to backup specific tables, then you should make use of pg_dump, which, as of 8.3, has the ability to: a) Dump named tables, via the -t option, or b) exclude named tables, via the -T option That is the appropriate way to selectively backup portions of the database. -- let name="cbbrowne" and tld="linuxfinances.info" in String.concat "@" [name;tld];; http://www3.sympatico.ca/cbbrowne/wp.html --Despite Pending :Alarm-- -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
