Re: Dump and Query

Hi Enrico,

The following command will get you a text file of your result-set:

# echo "SELECT customer_id, first_name, sur_name FROM
users;"|/usr/local/pgsql/bin/psql -U [username] -d [database] > myfile.txt
# cat myfile.txt

customer_id | first_name | sur_name
-------------+------------+----------

Or you can dump a specific table:

# /usr/local/pgsql/bin/pg_dump --table=[tablename] [database]

Regards,

Andy.
