I have four tables in a database which reference all the large objects in the database. I need to backup and restore these 4 tables and the large objects independently of the other tables in the database.
pg_dump only allows me to dump the whole database, if I want to dump the large objects. I know that on restore I can create a contents file from the pg_dump file and selectively restore only the tables I need, but this is not suitable because: 1) Restore data is streamed from a remote ftp server. 2) Backup file is large. 3) There is not enough physical storage to copy the restore file to disk prior to restoring the database, so I can create the contents list without reading file twice over ftp link. Does anybody have any suggestions apart from writing my own custom backup/restore?
