Re: how do you set foriegn keys in pgaccess?

I am a bit of a newbie to postgres, but I managed to install 8.0.4 on my
windows box and it mostly appears to be working fine;
I can set a primary key constraint, but when i try to set the foreign key it
requires a 'reference' - but there is nothing there to chose from.

I also have another query:
How do you export the database tables and relationships etc? I found a
pg_dump command in help and I am guessing this I what i need but where do I
enter this command in pgaccess?

Also how do you input existing SQL script into postgres?

Thanks for any help.
Jeremy

Well, pg_dump and psql are command-line tools that are very flexible
parts of your toolkit. They are described quite extensively in the
manuals, and these should have been installed as HTML on your system.

Also - are you sure you're using pgaccess and not pgadmin - both are
graphical tools for PG, but I though pgadmin was installed by default on
Windows.

Hi, Jeremy,
Have you tried PGadminIII? It's much easier to use.
To input a script, you can use psql
psql -h HOSTNAME -d DANAME -f FILENAME -U USERNAME
