Attached is a patch against pg_dump version 7.4.3 that permits
multiple "-t" switches so that you can select more than one table (but
less than all) to dump.

It also adds a "-T" switch (long name "--exclude-table") that says
*not* to dump a specific table. So:

pg_dump -t table1 -t table2 db

will dump table1 and table2 only, whereas:

pg_dump -T table1 -T table2 db

will dump all the tables *except* table1 and table2.

Tested briefly on my system; doesn't seem to break anything.

Regards,

David.
