Re: Schema backup

I also have troubles with pg_dump. I have a database called 'shipping' and
it has many tables(I populated them via a script). To dump the database I
did these steps:

su greg and then pg_dump > /tmp/greg.dmp. A file greg.dmp gets created but
it has nothing in it(0 bytes). Could you advise what was wrong, please?

Thanks in advance, Greg
