Hi.

Usually when I need to restore a database to its initial state, what I
do is to simply drop it, and then re-create it.

However on a shared hosting this is not possible.

By initial state I mean:
The content of template1 database
or
The database without all objects owned by role X, and that can be
re-created by X

where X is a role with normal privileges.

I searched on pgFoundry, without success.

It should not be hard to implement, but I would like to know if
something similar has already been implemented.

Thanks Manlio
