pg_dump feature request: Exclude tables?
Since pg_dump will be allowing multiple -t <table> parameters for 8.0, here
is a related feature request.
A similar option (allowing multiples also) to EXCLUDE tables, so we can do a
dump of the entire database minus a few tables.

Nope, didn't make it into 8.0.

Yes, we have talked about that.

This would be a big plus for one of our projects too. Is it on some TODO
list for a future release?

No, we have:
* Allow pg_dump to use multiple -t and -n switches
This should be done by allowing a '-t schema.table' syntax.
but that doesn't have the exclude option. We had a patch that
implemented an exclude but got confused over how it would interact with
the schema switch and stuff. However, with the new '-t schema.table'
syntax we might be able to get it working.

I second this. I would prefer an option to dump only the schema of
certain tables rather than excluding them altogether.
