HI Matthew,
As i read "import / export routines that use a table__new() function to insert"
I couldn't figure out if they are handful to me. Although i believe the logic and the process you ran into, it must be very similar:
I have only few tables that change very oftenly, so I don't need to dump the whole database every day. I guess it's actually an advanced topic about dump databases and i'm dispose to learn about it.
Plus, i've installed some packages which i'd like to get rid of from my datamodel. So, I would just import the wanted tables to a new service without the unwanted pkg
I'm pretty sure it's not gonna work because of the dependancies, but who knows? Any magician around here??
