That would be very inefficient. I suppose a polite error "time out of rage" should be enough. Hopefully I didn't see that as inportant... My concern goes to 1) why saving 1997 line in the dump about a database with --start 20020101 making a very hug dump ? 2) why do I need more than 14H to restore 8000 row ? 3) last but not least, how do I remove/change an entry ? That seem very strange so I am searching where I am wrong...
