How do I move a database from one server to another in PgSQL?


Just pipe a dump from the old server into the new one:

pg_dump -h 172.26.76.100 -p 5432 -U username your_db | psql -h localhost -p 5432 -U username your_db 

Replace the ip addresses and there you go. If you're using different versions of PostgreSQL, make sure you use pg_dump and psql from the latest version.


Dump it on the first server and restore it on the second, using either the command line tools or something loke pgAdmin.
