I need to export an entire database to another server, for testing purpose.
Is there any way to export all indexes and constraints ?
Postgres 9.2

By default pg_dump will export the constraints. It will export the definition of the indexes, but not the physical contents of them, so they have to be recreated upon import. That can be slow depending on the sizes and types involved.
Or you can clone the whole thing with pg_basebackup. (If you have multiple databases on the same cluster, this will take all of them. The only thing you can do about that is drop the ones you don't want.)
