Is there a way to get a dump of all the DDL and data associated with a
single schema within a database?
What I tried in attempting to hack this out was
\dt consume.*
and
\dv consume.*
to get a list of tables and views in the schema named "consume", then
sent those lists to a file "tables.txt ". Followed that with something
like
for n in `cat tables.txt` do; pg_dump -t $n >> consume.sql; done
This almost worked, except for that I have some duplicate table names in
other schemas, and the pg_dump picked up both the table I wanted in the
consume schema and the the similarly-named table in a different schema.
I'd really like to be able to get the complete dump for one schema and no
more. Might work if you could specify a schema-qualified table name in
the -t option of pg_dump, but that apparently is not possible currently.
I tried also using pg_restore to generate a list file, thinking I could
edit the output list file to include only the tables from desired schema.
This would really be a better approach than what I've show above, but
having the duplicate table names was again the problem because nothing in
the list file distinquishes which schema the tables are members of.

TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command
(send "unregister YourEmailAddres sHere" to majordomo@postg resql.org)
