I am new to Postgresql and I am in the process of trying to migrate 2
databases from a unix box to windows 2000. Is there an easy way to
export the database across platforms? If not, what is the best way to do
this task? I wasn't sure if I could take a dump of the databases on the
Unix box and rerun the sql scripts in Windows to recreate the databases.
Any insight or assistance that you can offer would be greatly
appreciated.

Also, I am using PostgreSQL8. Would I still need to use Cygwin since
this release is supposed to work on a windows platform. Thanks in
advance.
