How to download a database from Managed Database Cluster?

Hi there @Motash,

You should be able to achieve both of these by using the pg_dump and pg_restore command-line tools.

A command similar to the following should allow you to dump all the data from your remote PostgreSQL database to a single dump file:

pg_dump -h use_your_host -U use_your_username -Fc use_your_dbname > dbdump.pgsql

You can restore a dump file to the default database and user by running a command similar to this:

pg_restore -d 'use_your_connnectionURI' --jobs 4 use_your_dump_file

We cover both importing and exporting databases more detail in our product documentation for our managed databases (PostgreSQL):

Hope that helps! - Matt.
