Re: Postgredac Dump

Hi Ray

I finally got it to dump.

I switched the argument so that the path is first and the file name is after
the comma.

I found this hint on a very useful site that shows a number of examples of
PostgresDAC.

Hi Bob,

I've only recently started using that component set, and haven't tried
the pg_dump one yet, so I'm only guessing, but it sounds as if something
is going wrong at the server end - maybe an authentication problem? What
does the PostgreSQL log say?
