Re: Really Dumb Question...(Dumping db)

Joe,

If you have password authentication on for the other server as well try
this command instead,

psql -e worldwide -f worldwide.pgdump

where the -f switch tells psql to execute commands contained in a file.
I just fought with that one today for a bit until I remembered that
switch. You should then get a password prompt to enter your password.
