Обсуждение: A question

Hi, i don't wheather I should ask you here, so excuse me.
First of all , GREAT JOB!!! pgAdminII is a great aplication, that gives me much power than the usual prompt.

My question is here: I am making a simple database, I want a friend of mine to  use it. The problem is that he is not
connectedto my computer. What should I do? How I should "export" the database. Should I consider making it from
superuser,or from any other user. 

And one more question, I don't know if my friend is using Windows or Linux, is this going to make a difference?
Than you for your time, looking forward to hearing from you.
Kind regards,
Biser

Thanks, glad you like it!

To be honest this isn't really the place for this question
(pgsql-general@postgresql.org would be), but I'll make a suggestion.

The easiest thing is for you to run pg_dump to export the database, and
for him to load it on his PostgreSQL system. Look in the PostgreSQL
manual in the pgAdmin helpfile for info on pg_dump.

Not as long as you both run the same version of PostgreSQL.
