# 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/
   ```
