But how do you backup only a single table or transfer only a signle table.

JohnF,

please use pg_dump. You can find excellent documentation at

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.2/interactive/app-pgdump.html

please pay special attention to the --table option.

Best wishes,

Harald

MSSQL has a fancy GUI "wizard".

It basically does all the stuff pg_dump does, but just using a GUI
interface to manage all the options. I guess it has the addition
of managing the interaction between pg_dump on one server an pg_restore
on another as well.

Doesn't really have any more features that I'm aware of, just has a
nice "one stop" interface.

Bill,

pgadmin3 provides the same: just dig down to the table, use the backup
link and give the options. It also calls pg_dump just with the right
parameters, you can copy that command for a .cmd for professional
automatic backup.

Harald

bcp does not provide the full set of goodiness but it works on the
command line. I don't think it is suited for backup... just for
exporting.

It doesn't make too much sense working on the command line on Windows
(unless you work with monad and such... but still) since the shell is
quite limited up to my knowledge. But *nix guys may feel more
comfortable with bcp.

The issue I have with pgAdmin3 and backing up a table is with the restore.
The associated sequences are not restored. Granted that might be a different
problem. But from a users perspective I see it as a major problem.

Oh? Works fine for me, on PG 8.2.5 - pg_dump exports the SQL to recreate
the sequence, and a setval() to reset it to where it was.
