Hey,
I'm writing a backup script. Right now, I only have one database on my
postgresql server. I'm deciding if I should use pg_dump or pg_dumpall
when backing up the server. As far as I can tell, pg_dumpall cannot
compress the dumps automatically and it only dumps data in the
standard SQL text file format. This means that I would not be able to
use pg_restore to selectively restore the database, correct?
What is *NOT* included in a pg_dump that IS in pg_dumpall (Other than
all the databases)? Things like user-defined functions and datatypes?
Roles? Views?
views are part of a database, so they are included, so are user defined
functions. whats not included are, primarily, roles/users.
I was leaning towards pg_dumpall, but then I realized that it only
dumps in the standard SQL text file format, and it cannot be
compressed automatically.
pgdumpall .... | gzip > dumpfile.sql.gz
