Why can't he just do a

Then copy dbname.sql to a jump/thumb drive on the old laptop

copy the data from the jump/thumb drive to the new laptop

create the new db in 9.5

and use pg_restore to load the his_dbname.sql ?

Because it's not the same version, so that will cause some errors.

But i guess we should be able to live with that.

Thanks, i guess i was thinking a bit too rigid.
