I assume that you have a shell account on the server, and that you have a
command prompt? Check out the manual, Reference -> PostgreSQL Client
Applications. The primary application that you are interested in will be
"psql", which can be used interactively, or invoked from the OS command
line. Perhaps interactive is alround most useful, because the other client
applications have equivalents in SQL. But the ability to invoke these
applications from the command line makes them capable of being scripted,
which will enable you to automate routine functions, especially those to do
with data loading.
