Hi Hoger,

I tried as you said. I downloaded this psql - postgres frontend for windows and then tried pg_dump as well as psql command prompt.

But, they asked me for password.

May I know what kind of password it is referring to ?

When I downloaded POSTGRESQL, it is saved in the program files in windows 10 but there isn't any command line tool available.
I tried using windows 10 command prompt but it is not accepting any command like I what type :
psql -U postgres -d mydb -a -f "Filelocation\name"

Please help.

Thanks.     On Monday, July 15, 2019, 1:32:08 PM GMT+8, Holger Jakobs <holger@jakobs.com> wrote:  
 
 The easiest way would be using psql on the command line.

Dump a little database using pg_dump with the option --data-only to see what the format digestible by psql looks like.

Basically, it's a COPY command followed by the data in tab-separated format finished by a line consisting of a backslash and a period.  \.
