I tried this, but nothing appears to happen when entering the commands. Attached is a screenshot of the shell window - what am I doing wrong?
those are system shell commands, not psql sql commands. catch-22, in the windows environment, postgresql's command tools probably aren't in the path, so to execute the above commands try this...
Thanks. When I do this I get an error: could not find a "pg_dump" to execute - I've used the path "C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\9.3\bin";%path% which appears to be correct
Sorry, forgot to add: once I get the warning that the Pg_dump can't be found there is then a password prompt; I tried the db password and the pc password but both fail:
Password: pg_dump: [archiver (db)] connection to database "irll_project" failed: FATAL: p assword authentication failed for user "killian" pg_restore: [archiver] input file is too short (read 0, expected 5)
if your postgres is installed somewhere else, replace "c:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\9.4\bin" in the PATH command with its actual location \bin ....
