The $ isn't part of the command, it just just part of the shell's command-line prompt. My shell command line prompt looks like this: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ if i want to jump a database then I would type the following command after the prompt: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ pg_dump mydb > db.out Regards, Richard Broersma Jr. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: explain analyze is your friend
