<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>At first, it doesn't seem possible to use pg_dump
to dump sequences - it says on the man page:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>"pg_dump will save the information necessary to
re-generate all user-defined types, functions, tables,
indexes, aggregates, and operators."</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>That seems to be a rather complete list that
doesn't contain "sequences" - in fact they aren't mentioned anywhere in
the doc.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>However, after more careful reading, sequences
aren't treated as special entities by postgres, they are just tables on which
the nextval, setval, etc. functions work. I guess because of their status as
"sequences", -t "*" doesn't include them. However, if you either specify the
name of the sequence specifically using -t seq_name or simply leave out the -t
parameter altogether, sequences do get dumped (as tables, with setval()
function calls afterward).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>So try:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>pg_dump -f tablas.sql ejercicio</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>And I think you will get everything
dumped.</FONT></DIV>
