You probably want to give the manuals a quick scan before starting anything.
   http://www.postgresql.org/docs/

Details on client applications are in the section: Reference / Client
Applications
   http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/static/reference-client.html

In particular, I'd recommend exploring the item on psql.
   http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/static/app-psql.html

Don't forget that you will almost certainly have to tweak the script
before importing it.
