Online Documentation for SQL Management Studio for PostgreSQL

Running DB Extract

EMS DB Extract for PostgreSQL is a powerful and easy-to-use utility for creating database backups in the form of SQL scripts. It allows you to save metadata of all database objects as well as table data.

DB Extract for PostgreSQL provides you with a Wizard that guides you through all the steps of the metadata and data extraction process: you can select objects and data tables for extraction and tune a number of other extract options.

In addition to the GUI version, which is implemented as a Wizard application, DB Extract for PostgreSQL includes a console version intended to run from the Windows command line with a template file name used as the execution parameter.

To run DB Extract for PostgreSQL, click its icon or caption in the Data Analysis section and follow the steps of the Wizard. If necessary, you can click the Arrow-down button to open the menu, where you can specify a template and then run the wizard/console with the template.

To manage configuration files (templates), use the corresponding Manage templates link. In this case, you will be redirected to the Template Management section of SQL Studio.
