How do I move a database from one server to another in PgSQL?

Question

I am trying to move a database from my old server to a new server. Any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

Just pipe a dump from the old server into the new one:

pg_dump -h 172.26.76.100 -p 5432 -U username your_db | psql -h localhost -p 5432 -U username your_db 

Replace the ip addresses and there you go. If you're using different versions of PostgreSQL, make sure you use pg_dump and psql from the latest version.
