Use PgAdmin to connect to your Windows database and make a backup, then connect to the database running on the Linux server and restore the backup. To do this, you will have to edit the settings on the Linux server a little. You will need to enable listening on TCP/IP on the Linux server in postgresql.conf - look for the listen_addresses directive. You can usually find postgresql.conf in /etc/postgresql , but it might be in /etc/postgresql/8.3/main on machines where PostgreSQL is set up so multiple versions can be installed at once. You will need to create a database superuser with a password, or set the a password for the postgres user. For example: sudo -u postgres psql template1 CREATE USER dba SUPERUSER PASSWORD 'thepassword'; You might also have to edit pg_hba.conf to add an entry permitting connections from the Windows machine. pg_hba.conf is either in your PostgreSQL data directory or in the same place as postgresql.conf. Once that's done, you can do most of your admin with PgAdmin from the Windows box, though I *STRONGLY* recommend that you do learn to get around the Linux box and the psql command line. -- Craig Ringer -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
