Re: Help to dump tables in a database and restore in another database

Running Windows7 with Postgresql 8.4

I am trying to dump about 132 tables, this is my command:

pg_dump --host localhost --port 5432 --username postgres -o -v -t
'myschema.*' dbname > mydump.sql

This generates an error no matching tables were found, is the asterisk
not a wild card meaning all tables found in the schema named myschema

When restoring the tables from the dump will i still have the 132
tables or 1 table

Your valued advise is appreciated.
