However, in this case I'm only trying to dump *one* database with "pg_dump". The user owns the database, so permissions should not be a problem. Note that the database does have a password on it (which I need to change and don't yet know how, but that's another issue). When I use psql to access the database manually, I am prompted for a password; but pg_dump does not prompt me for the password, even if I add the "-W" parameter to force it. Could this have something to do with the problem? Cheers, -- Rodolfo J. Paiz <rpaiz@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
