postgresqlHow do I create a backup of my PostgreSQL database?
To create a backup of a PostgreSQL database, the pg_dump command can be used. This command takes a snapshot of the database and stores it in a file.
The following example code can be used to create a backup of a PostgreSQL database named "mydb" and store it in a file named "mydb_backup.sql":
pg_dump mydb > mydb_backup.sqlThe code consists of the following parts:
pg_dump: the command to take a backup of the databasemydb: the name of the database to be backed up>: redirects the output of the command to a filemydb_backup.sql: the file where the backup will be stored
The output of the command will be the contents of the backup, which will be stored in the file.
