They don't need any registry keys, weird environment settings or such, just some libs which should be present on most platforms, except libpq. Using a java application for dump/restore will burden you with installing a JVM, the PostgreSQL JDBC drivers, and your application, which seems at least equal effort and more ressources. Btw, another idea is to run pg_dump on the server, but pipe its output to the client, e. G. via running it through telnet or SSH (yes there are SSH servers for windows), and then piping it to a file on the client (e. G. using plink.exe from the putty package). Or use netcat or so. On a unix box, when you're really crazy, and want to ignore all security restrictions, you could even install pg_dump via inetd, and then everyone connecting via TCP on the appropriate port gets a dump of the database. :-) HTH, Markus -- Markus Schaber | Logical Tracking&Tracing International AG Dipl.
