Hi,

I am trying to "simply" export my postgres database from one server and then import it into another. I thought I could use PhpPgAdmin, but the hints on the web don't seem to work. One said to simply get a dump from one phpPgAdmin, the go to the other server, select the database, click the SQL button and then select the dump file. When I do this the import fails because the dump file begins with a \connect statement.

I don't really know why pg_dump includes that \connect , but it isn't
the only problem you'll hit with that approach. PgAdmin-III seems to
wrap the invoked SQL in a transaction, and the dump will try to
(re)-create the `postgres' role, which will fail and abort the transaction.

Well just to keep the confusion level down a bit, the OP was referring to phpPgAdmin:)

Argh, I missed that. Thanks very much for spotting and correcting it.
