# postgres skip table from restore Restore done in 3 steps: 1. Generate task list ``` pg_restore -l dump-path/ > task ``` 2. Edit the generated `task file` and remove the step that we wanted to ignore. Example, if we want to skip the restoring `sometable`, we remove this line from the file. ``` 4749; 0 106924 TABLE DATA public sometable someuser ``` 3. Restore using the task file ``` pg_restore -d somedatabase -L ./task dump-path/ ``` --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
