What I recommend is a schema-only dump with the --create option: pg_dump --schema-only --create dbname You will find CREATE DATABASE and perhaps ALTER DATABASE statements near the top that you can use to create a copy of the database. There will also be GRANT statements for the database. Yours, Laurenz Albe
