Hello, Using PostgreSQL 8.1.4, pgadmin III 1.6.0 in WinXP I tried to export a table using COPY (first time in postgresql, did many times in Sybase): COPY ml50jtsk_datum_v TO 'c:/postgresql/ml50jtsk.out'; I got the following errormessage: ERROR: could not open file "c:/postgresql/ml50jtsk.out" for writing: Permission denied SQL state: 42501 What's wrong? Does it mean that the database user has no writing permission out of the database? How I did a pg_dump then few weeks ago? Many thanks for help and/or explanation, best regards and Happy New Year Tomas
