Re: Backup / export DB

Simply dump the database with pg_dump, copy the dump to the other machine
and restore the dump there.
See the man pages of pg_dump how to use the tool. If you're database
contains foreign keys or similar, make sure to include OIDs into the
database dump.

Subject: [GENERAL] Backup / export DB

Hi,

I have a database (table, stored procedures, accounts,..) on 1 computer.
for some reason i need to move this database to another computer but not in
the same folder name or on the same HDD.

how can i export (and after import) all relative structure and data ?
or maybe a backup of DB is enough ?

thanks a lot,

Alain
