Thanks!
Just to provide more info, this is what I'm getting when I start up the software..
"Unable to connect to server: Connection refused
Is the server running on host "localhost" and accepting TCP/IP CONNECTIONS ON PORT 7147?
Connection data: host=localhost port=7147 user=mdp password='mdp' dbname=mdp
Thanks all!

Lester,
The docs to pg_dump are here:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.3/interactive/app-pgdump.htmlThe above documentation has lots of examples at the end. You probably want something like:
pg_dump -U db_user_name db_name > ~/Desktop/db_name.sql
P.S. You need to use "reply all" so your response goes back to the list.

Hi all,
I have the password and I was able to use the pgadmin.conf to open that file but I don't know how to use pgdump to open the database. I'm a newb as it concerns working with terminal. This is for a Mac BTW.
Thanks for your help so far!
