Hi All,
I want to move my development database (7.2.3) to my production server
but the production server database has a different name.
What is the procedure for restoring a database pg_dump to another
machine with a different database name?
       

pg_dump -h source_host source_dbname |psql -h dest_host dest_dbname

     

Hi Scott,
Unfortunately my production machine is remote and I must transfer it via
FTP.  How would that change your suggestion?
   

You break it into two separate commands at the pipe, and use
pg_restore to import it back in on the target box.
 

Lonni,
Before I try that, I should tell you that I used pg_dump to create the 
backup.  I read in the manual that psql client restores text files from 
pg_dump.  Should I still try pg_restore?
thanks,
Phil
