Обсуждение: Updates to my PostgreSQL Wiki
I've got some new content on my wiki for PostgreSQL. http://www.bluwiki.org/go/PostgreSQL_Tips_From_The_Sunburned_Surveyor You will find an article on making connections to the PostgreSQL server, and an article on creating automated backups of PostgreSQL databases using a bash shell script. These are two areas I didn't find much info on as a newbie. I managed to work through them with some help and wanted to post my solutions for other PostgreSQL/Linux newbies. If more experienced users read over the articles and find mistakes or something that could be imporved, please let me know. I hope others in the community will benefit from the articles. The Sunburned Surveyor P.S. - I still have some sections to complete on the article about automatic backups. I was also wondering, what is the -c switch used for? What type of custom format would you export in a postgreSQL backup?

You can use the --list and --use-list flags for pg_restore[2] to take advantage of the custom format dump file. Hope this helps.

I think you have a typo in the nowDate declaration. It should read: declare nowDate=$(date +%F) -- Leif Biberg Kristensen | Registered Linux User #338009 http://solumslekt.org/ | Cruising with Gentoo/KDE
