Hi Instead of dropping the table, I would like to archive the old table into a format that can be read and retrieved.
Can I db_dump on each child table? What is the best way to do it? db_dump and make the data into csv and then tar.gz it or backup it up into a pg archived format? thanks, jb On Mon, Mar 29, 2010 at 9:33 PM, A.
