Subject: Parallel pg_dump on a single database

Message-ID: <877182.59904.qm@web39704.mail.mud.yahoo.com> (raw)
Is it possible (or smart!) to run multiple pg_dumps simulataneously on a single database, dumping different parts of the database to different files by using table and schema exclusion? I'm attempting this and sometimes it works and sometimes when I check the dump files with
pg_restore -Fc <dumpfile> > /dev/null
I get
pg_restore: [custom archiver] found unexpected block ID (4) when reading data -- expected 4238
I suspect that locks are colliding sometimes and not others, but I'm not sure. Little help?
Thanks in advance,
Bob Lunney
