Re: Dump to text file

with pg_dump, I use in this form

pg_dump mydb > mydb.pg_dump

pg_dump dumps a database as a text file.

Usage:
  pg_dump [options] dbname

Options:
  -a, --data-only          dump out only the data, not the schema
  -c, --clean              clean (drop) schema prior to create
  -d, --inserts            dump data as INSERT, rather than COPY, commands
  -D, --attribute-inserts  dump data as INSERT commands with attribute names
  -h, --host <hostname>    server host name
  -i, --ignore-version     proceed when database version != pg_dump version
  -n, --no-quotes          suppress most quotes around identifiers
  -N, --quotes             enable most quotes around identifiers
  -o, --oids               dump object ids (oids)
  -p, --port <port>        server port number
  -s, --schema-only        dump out only the schema, no data
  -t, --table <table>      dump for this table only
  -u, --password           use password authentication
  -v, --verbose            verbose
  -x, --no-acl             do not dump ACL's (grant/revoke)

If no database name is not supplied, then the PGDATABASE environment
variable value is used.
