How can I find the path for pg_dump? You mean on Windows or on Linux?
I am unable to make the "dump" or SQL backup from my Windows machine
to begin with!
If I were to use pg_dump without phppgadmin, how can I do it? When I
use pgadmin III to do "backup" of the database, it takes me to a
dialog box with some options, but I just cannot get the OK button to
go active in this dialog box. So I cannot do backup that way.
Next, I tried to use pgsql and tried this:
postgres=# pg_dump MYDB > d:\mydb.sql
history is not supported by this installation
What does this mean? History not supported?
The manual on pgsql website about pg_dump gives very little info about
where to execute the command.
Thanks!
