pg_dump ignoring table sequence?

Question

I have been playing around with PostgreSQL lately, and am having trouble understanding how to backup and restore a single table.

I used pgadmin3 to backup a single table

Answer 1

dumping by table only - will dump only the table. You need to dump the sequence separately in addition to the table.

If you dont know your sequence you can list it with \d yourtable in psql. You will see something in the row your sequence is on that looks like : nextval('yourtable_id_seq'::regclass')

Then from the command line, pgdump -t yourtable_id_seq
