Can you do that if you have functions tied to the table? Also would that be in a transaction? I need to allow seamless usability to the data while I'm doing this snapshot. Not sure the -c option (Clean Drop schema) would work here. I want to only drop a table and not the entire db so that I'm not moving data that doesn't need to be moved.
The goal is to only shapshot data in tables that has changed. I would like to wrap that in a transaction. -Paul Martijn van Oosterhout wrote: > > On Mon, Aug 21, 2006 at 06:40:22AM -0700, Paul Silveira wrote: >> >> Yes the needs are simple.
