Oh, I didn't realize that dots are allowed in table names. But is there an unambiguous way to specify a specific table in a database if you don't know your search path? Would that be "foo"."bar" (table bar in schema foo) as opposed to "foo.bar" (table foo.bar in current schema, if extant)? If so, then pg_dump -t '"foo"."bar"' would do the right thing, I'd hope. If there's no way to unambiguously specify a table name, that rather worries me.... cjs -- Curt Sampson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> +81 90 7737 2974 http://www.netbsd.org Don't you know, in this new Dark Age, we're all light. --XTC ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 8: explain analyze is your friend
