Re: Copy entire schema A to a different schema B

Thanks Adrian and Ron. Sorry, I was not clear. What I'm trying to achieve
was to dump the schema quickly and be able to restore a single or subset of
objects from the dump. As far as I understand, the only way of achieving
that is to use the custom format and the -j option. Is that correct? Are
there any other alternatives?

Thanks.
