+# Include Multiple Tables In A pg_dump
+
+When the `pg_dump` command is given the `-t` flag, it will dump just the table
+named with that flag. If you want to include multiple tables in the dump, you
+just need to use the flag multiple times.
+
+```bash
+$ pg_dump -t users -t users_roles -t roles my_database > roles.dump.sql
+```
+
+Alternatively, you can specify a
+[pattern](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/app-psql.html#APP-PSQL-PATTERNS)
+when using the `-t` flag.
+
+```bash
+$ pg_dump -t 'users*|roles' my_database > roles.dump.sql
+```
+
+You have to be a little more mindful of what will and won't be included when
+crafting a pattern. It is a nice shortcut for a well-known or well-constrained
+data model.
+
+See the [`pg_dump`
+docs](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/app-pgdump.html) for more
+details, as well as [some
+examples](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/app-pgdump.html#PG-DUMP-EXAMPLES).
