Hmm, what I usually use is: bzcat $file | sed -ne "/^COPY \"$table\" /,/^\\\.\$/p" However, error checking and wrapping it into a script is a good idea. If it got given a couple of switches to control the output, maybe we can have a pg_restore for text dumps :) Have a nice day, -- Martijn van Oosterhout <kleptog@svana.org> http://svana.org/kleptog/ > Patent. n.
