Hi,

I have installed Suse Linux Opeb Excchange server and its running using postgresql-7.2.2-35. And my problem here is i cant log in to the database itself using command pgsql < db name > . Is there another command to log in to the database ?I hope somebody will help me on this problem . And also please teach me what is the command to manually backup the database in postgresql ?

Thanks,
Farid

What kind of an error message you get?

Use pg_dump.

BTW... Your PostgreSQL version is outdated and is not supported by
community (I'm not sure whether SuSE supports it or not). You should
update to a newer version.

It should be psql <db_name> (not pgsql), at least on versions greater
than 7.3.  And I agree, postgresql 7.2.2 is pretty outdated.

hope this helps.
