I've been asked to send the init-script along with the dump. Where can I
find it?

In /etc/init.d/ on linux (or /etc/rc.d/init.d/)
Apparently, on freebsd it sits in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/

Oh, is that it. I thought they were talking about a script to init the db :-).

They said: If you send the init script along with the dump, it's easier to restore the db.

Hmm - that's probably not what they want.

I'm guessing they mean the SQL to recreate the database. Normally pg_dump will
dump both the schema-creationg SQL and the data for the tables. You can
restrict this with --data-only or --schema-only.

Alternatively, pg_restore can restore only the schema or data (if you want).

Difficult to say what "they" mean - what is the context for this?

That's what I do now: I dump the schema along with the data.

That's always with the problem with "them" :)

I guess they're having problems with the uid's not being available on their system or something like that. I told them to read up on the help for pg_restore so we'll leave it at that until they come back with something more useful. Unless someone else on the list knows what they mean.

Sorry for the confusion, I just hoped that someone would know immediately what "they" meant.
