Re: How to use PG_DUMP?

Hi,

I have tested with "pg_dump -u -p 5432 -d -f c:\test.sql mydatabase" but
the order of the INSERTS it is not the correct. What PG_DUMP does is to add
the CONSTRAINTS after doing the INSERTS. There is a way to have the correct
order of the INSERTS?

I have tested the COPY but does not insert nothing.

What can I do?

Best Regards,
