How to restore a single table from a .sql postgresql backup?

Question

A table\'s rows were mistakenly deleted from the database. We have a db backup which results in a sql file that can restored like so:

psql -h localhost -d pr         


        

Answer 1

There is an easy way.

'pg_restore' has a '--table/-t' option.

pg_restore -a -t your_table /path/to/dump.sql

Use '-h' for remote host. See other options here
