The list approach for partial restore is also useful, thank you.
On another note, I used to take full backups (entire database), however
switched to table by table scheme in order to make it more VCS friendly.
Namely, so I only check into github the dumps of the tables that are updated
only.
So, from that perspective, is there a dump-restore scenario that is widely
used, but is also VCS friendly? To my knowledge, pg_restore does not restore
backups that are in "plain text" format, and compressed formats such as
"tar" would not be github friendly.
