  Hi Paulos,
 I'm not sure if I got it right. There are two scenarios:
 1/ You do DUMP + RESTORE and information in restored tables is
 different than in original table.
 This would be weird. I can only imagine that DUMP failed or was
 incomplete but otherwise there should be no issue 
 This is the issue. When we do a DUMP and RESTORE, the mail_template
 on the system on which we do a restore remains the same, it is not
 updated from the restore in the DUMP.
 As such we have to manually edit it again to get it updated.
  2/ You do DUMP + modification + RESTORE and
modification is not in
 restored tables. 
 We do not do a modification after doing the DUMP.
  
  This is also correct since modifications are not
included in DUMP.
 I suggest to make backup via DUMP after modification of those
 tables. 
 After a bit of reading and when I get the time, I am now going to
 try to do a data only dump of the mail_template table with the data
 that we want and then see if I canm restore that data only after the
 restore using the aproach suggested in the attached advice, would
 that work ?

 Paulos

 Good afternoon,
 I am having trouble maintaing my English version of
 mail_template table in the FRED database backup and restore, can
 you help ?
 I often need to backup the FRED registry system database and I
 am using
 #pg_dump -U fred fred > fred-backup-file.sql
 To restore that database I use
 #sudo -u postgres psql
 #DROP DATABASE fred;
 #CREATE DATABASE fred;
 #\q
 #psql -U fred -d fred -f fred-backup-file.sql
 However, I find in almost all cases that I lose any updates that
 I made on mail_template table when I restore this way on the new
 restoration.
 Is there a way that I can keep the most resent mail_template
 updates between backup and restore?
 I have tried to save the mail_template using a dump like
 #pg_dump -U fred fred -t mail_template > fred-mail_template-
 bkp.sql
 but I am unable to restore this because I get the error that
 there are too many dependencies on mail_template when I try to
 drop the table and then use pg_restore -t.
 So, what is the best way of moving with my desired mail_template
 in FRED?
 Can I do this even between different schemas of backup and
 restore ?
 Regards,
 Paulos
