pg_restore -L option

Could someone clarify the use of the -L option in pg_restore? I have a
pg_dump of a database (options -Ft -b) and I want to restore most of the
dump with the exception of one table into another database. Can I do the
following?:

1) restore the tar file of the dump into a "list" file with pg_restore
-l

2) comment out the line for the table that I want to exclude, and

3) restore the tar file with the following command: pg_restore -a -L
<list file> -d <dbname> <tar file name>

Thanks in advance for your response?

Hi, While on the topic of "need for in-place upgrades", I got to think- ing how the pg_restore could be speeded up. Am I wrong in saying that in the current pg_restore, all of the indexes are created in serial? How about this new, multi-threaded way of doing the pg_restore: 0. On the command line, you specify how many threads you want.

My situation is that I am interacting PHP 4.1.2 to PostgreSQL 7.2.2 I have no difficulty inserting and managing BLOBs into the Large Object system table, and I have a user table called images which maintains the relationship between the BLOB loid and the identity that relates to it in my user tables. So far so good. When I RTFM obout psql it refers to the \lo_import, \lo_list, \lo_export and \lo_unlink functions.

Hello, I am currently using PostgreSQL v7.3.4 on a RedHat 8.0 system (2.4.23 kernel) using the ext3 filesystem.

Maybe it's just me, but I can't seem to get pg_restore to restore a database... I am running 8.0 beta 2 (using the dev3 installer) on Windows XP. I created a very simple database with one table and one function and dumped it out using: pg_dump -U postgres -F c -f test.dump test

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
