title: pg_dump only dumps table info, and very little table data?
body: <pre><code>pg_dump -U postgres mydb &gt; mydb.bak.sql
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>From the docs, it doesn't seem like I need to pass any flag to include table data in a dump. Yet, the dump resulting from the above includes data for a strange, tiny subset of tables--aside from their create statements, most tables are only listed as</p>
  
  <pre><code>COPY &lt;tablename&gt; (vals) FROM stdin;
  \.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there some circumstance where you have to explicitly tell pg_dump to include all table data?</p>
