pg_restore -l and schema name

[Phil Endecott]

Dear Postgresql people,

For the first time I'm trying to use pg_restore to do a partial restore.
It looks as if it should be easy: pg_restore -l, filter out the
required tables, then pg_restore -L. But unfortunately the listing
generated by pg_resotre doesn't include the schema name! Since my
database consists of lots of almost-identical schemas, I'm a bit stuck.

So this message is really a feature request for "please include the
schema name in the pg_restore -l output". Also, I'd be interested to
hear from anyone who has faced this problem before and can suggest how
to work around it.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Regards,

--Phil.
p.s. I'm logging long-running statements to syslog, and I'd also love to
see schema names there. But that's a less important problem.

TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command
(send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to ma*******@postgresql.org)

Seems reasonable. I've applied the attached patch to 8.0; you can
probably apply it locally without much trouble (the change is in
PrintTOCSummary() if you can't find the spot easily).

TIP 9: the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your
joining column's datatypes do not match
