If you use pg_dump to dump the database, you will get an SQL listing of
the database.

$pg_dump database >file.dmp

If you want, you can edit the dmp file and then recreate your database with
the changes.

1. pg_dump database >file.dmp
2. vi file.dmp (make changes)
3. dropdb database
4. psql database -f file.dmp

When you build PostgreSQL it will pick up the GNU readline library if it is
found. Make sure it is installed on your machine before you build. On SuSE
7.3, I helped this by specifying the following option to configure:

configure --with-include=/usr/include/guile-readline
