 Schema |        Name         | Type  |  Owner   
--------+---------------------+-------+----------
 public | xxxxxx              | table | postgres
 public | xxxxxxx             | table | postgres
 public | xxxxxxxxxxx         | table | postgres
 public | xxxxxxxx            | table | postgres
 public | xxxxxxxxx           | table | postgres
 public | xxxxxxxxx           | table | postgres
 public | xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx    | table | postgres

If you want to create text files containing the data, use the COPY command (or the psql command \copy which creates the output files on the client, rather than on the server as the COPY command does).

If you want to create SQL statements use pg_dump

like pg_dump <mybase> -t <atable> -f testride.sql right? – maniat1k Apr 25 '12 at 13:40

@maniat1k: Right. If you have multiple tables of the same name, you would additionally provide the schema -n <myschema> to avoid confusion. – Erwin Brandstetter Apr 25 '12 at 13:51
