You can use the pg_dump utility (to extract a PostgreSQL database into a
script file or other archive file) and the pg_restore utility (restore a
Postgres database from an archive file created by pg_dump) or the psql
interactive client.
(see the 'Examples' on PostgreSQL 7.1 Documentation, PostgreSQL Client
Applications reference)
