Hi, I already tried to mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] but my message was stalled.
Version: 8.1.4 (binary for win32) OS: Windows XP SP2 I type: pg_dump -h localhost -U postgres database_name and there is no question for the password. I haven't made changes to pg_hba.conf. I'm logged in as user "admin", not "postgres", the password is not empty. my pg_hba.conf: # ... # TYPE DATABASE USER CIDR-ADDRESS METHOD # IPv4 local connections: host all all 127.0.0.1/32 md5 without the -h localhost, I get the same (complete) dump SHOW hba_file; gives me: d:/program files/postgreSQL/8.1/data/pg_hba.conf (I only have one file named pg_hba.conf on my computer. I tried again with "pg_dump -U postgres -W database_name" when I enter the right password it passes, with the wrong one it denies me, without the "-W" it lets me pass. thanks and bye, Thomas ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
