\copy only select rows
Is there a way to do a dump of a database using a select statement?
eg: \copy trd to 'file' select * from table limit 10

A complete database or just a simple table?
eg: \copy trd to 'file' select * from table limit 10
Since 8.2 you can use COPY (select * from table) TO 'file'.
Other solution, use a regular UNIX-Shell and psql, a la
echo "select * from table limit 10;" | psql <database> > file
