Multi-Schema (non-public) Objects

CockroachDB objects are three-part: database.schema.table. crdb-dump is schema-aware everywhere — objects in non-public schemas are exported and restored correctly (filenames, manifests, DDL, and COPY targets are all fully qualified).

--tables input forms

Input	Interpreted as
users	<db>.public.users
cpkit.tasks	<db>.cpkit.tasks
mydb.cpkit.tasks	mydb.cpkit.tasks

A two-part name is schema.table (the database comes from --db), not the legacy database.table.

Example

# Export a table in the cpkit schema
crdb-dump export --db=mydb --tables=cpkit.tasks --data --data-format=csv

This produces mydb.cpkit.tasks_001.csv and mydb.cpkit.tasks.manifest.json. A full-database export additionally emits CREATE SCHEMA IF NOT EXISTS "cpkit"; in the schema file so a fresh-database restore works.

See the Naming Model reference for details.
