Hi Paulos,
I'm not sure if I got it right. There are two scenarios:
1/ You do DUMP + RESTORE and information in restored tables is
different than in original table.
This would be weird. I can only imagine that DUMP failed or was
incomplete but otherwise there should be no issue
This is the issue. When we do a DUMP and RESTORE, the mail_template
on the system on which we do a restore remains the same, it is not
updated from the restore in the DUMP.
As such we have to manually edit it again to get it updated.
2/ You do DUMP + modification + RESTORE and
modification is not in
restored tables.
We do not do a modification after doing the DUMP.
This is also correct since modifications are not
included in DUMP.
I suggest to make backup via DUMP after modification of those
tables.
After a bit of reading and when I get the time, I am now going to
try to do a data only dump of the mail_template table with the data
that we want and then see if I canm restore that data only after the
restore using the aproach suggested in the attached advice, would
that work ?

Paulos

Good afternoon,
I am having trouble maintaing my English version of
mail_template table in the FRED database backup and restore, can
you help ?
I often need to backup the FRED registry system database and I
am using
#pg_dump -U fred fred > fred-backup-file.sql
To restore that database I use
#sudo -u postgres psql
#DROP DATABASE fred;
#CREATE DATABASE fred;
#\q
#psql -U fred -d fred -f fred-backup-file.sql
However, I find in almost all cases that I lose any updates that
I made on mail_template table when I restore this way on the new
restoration.
Is there a way that I can keep the most resent mail_template
updates between backup and restore?
I have tried to save the mail_template using a dump like
#pg_dump -U fred fred -t mail_template > fred-mail_template-
bkp.sql
but I am unable to restore this because I get the error that
there are too many dependencies on mail_template when I try to
drop the table and then use pg_restore -t.
So, what is the best way of moving with my desired mail_template
in FRED?
Can I do this even between different schemas of backup and
restore ?
Regards,
Paulos
