Re: how to use pg_dump and then restored onto development server

OK..i get it. It works...
My additional question is: how to incorporate timestamp in dumped file name
?
Let's say, if we have script: pg_dump -f D:\MYDB_BCP -Fc -c -x -h
localhost -U postgres MYDB,
so that output file is named something like MYDB_BCP_2005-29-01, for
example. Is that possible?
Thanks.
