Script for splitting out a single database out of a pg_dumpall http://www.postgresql.org/message-id/b35603930802061841g194328b2if9a9257fd617cf76@mail.gmail.com

#!/bin/bash
# split.sh:  a shell script and wrapper for some (g)awk to extract a single
#            database out of a dumpall file - a quick and ugly hack, as
#            usual no other warranty as that it worked with my test-case. :}
#
# It relies on GNU awk > 3, may work with nawk/mawk, but I didn't test that.
# The old traditional awk as shipped with Solaris as the default will most
# definitely barf on this one.
#
# The reason for the writing out of the awk-script to /tmp is the invocation;
# I couldn't figure out a way to pass the filename to the BEGIN part other
# than via a variable, and I couldn't stand the thought of having to enter
# it manually on the command line twice. :} And I didn't like the idea of
# writing/saving two separate scripts - shoot me :D
#
# It creates two temporary files that it hopefully wipes after a
# successful run.
