  Rather embarrassing to have to ask this, but I forget how to do it and I
cannot find the directions in the available docs; I know it's there
somewhere but I'm just not seeing it.

  I have a series of 'create table' definitions in a text file. I want to
read this into postgres to create the tables, rather than re-keying them by
hand from within the program. INSERT works on rows and COPY works on values.
What I'm trying to do is create the entire database from a schema worked out
in a file.

  I would greatly appreciate a pointer to the proper command and the manual
in which I can read the syntax and, I hope, remember it for the next time.

Thanks,

Rich
