If it's a plain sql text file you can read it with a simple app like the notepad or whatever editor comes with windows. If it's not plain sql, but was created with pg_dump with switches to make it a custom compressed format then you'll need to use pg_restore to restore the file. I generally store plain text sql files as .sql and compressed dumps as .dmp so I can tell them apart by their names. -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
