The following documentation comment has been logged on the website: Page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/14/app-pgdump.html Description:
Hi, The pg_dump page mentions: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/app-pgdump.html#PG-DUMP-EXAMPLES == To dump all schemas whose names start with east or west and end in gsm, excluding any schemas whose names contain the word test: $ pg_dump -n 'east*gsm' -n 'west*gsm' -N '*test*' mydb > db.sql The same, using regular expression notation to consolidate the switches: $ pg_dump -n '(east|west)*gsm' -N '*test*' mydb > db.sql == However the manual doesn't mention anything about regular expressions otherwise. If it is possible to use regular expressions then the examples would have issues: east*gsm would match easgsm, eastgsm, eastttttgsm, but not east.gsm or east_tower.gsm (east|west)*gsm would match gsm, eastgsm, eastwesteastgsm, but not east.gsm or east_tower.gsm Perhaps regular expressions are not supported, but simply some sort of glob expression? - Peter Brodersen
