I am trying to get data from a Postgres database, but I am totally new to using Postgres.
I am here to ask my question to get some ideas from the best answer on how can I can do this. If possible, I'd also like a simple demo.

My question

I have one postgreSql database and I want to import them into my pgPhpAdmin using Commands.

How can I do so?
Please Help me Out with this.

How can I export a Postgresql database table into mySQL ?
Thanks.

...? Please, easy on the shouting. If you think my edit didn't reflect your actual question, go ahead and edit your own question. I've never imported something from Postgres to mySQL myself, but I think that question may start you on the road to finding your answer. – Meredith Leu Aug 8 at 9:58

I've never done a Postgres to mySQL migration before, but I know you can use the pg_dump tool to get a generated textfile of SQL statements you can use to reconstruct your database later.

The official Postgres documentation on pg_dump

You'd run this on Linux by opening up a terminal and typing in pg_dump at the prompt.

This dumps the default postgres database.

To get the dump of a database called TECH into a file called TECH.PGSQL you'd do:

pg_dump TECH > TECH.PGSQL

The > symbol is a redirection of the output of pg_dump into the specified file name TECH.PGSQL.

I'm afraid I don't have any experience with pgPhpAdmin or doing this on Windows, so I can't help you there. I suggest that you look around for how to perform a database dump in Postgres on Windows if that's the OS you're using.

@vimalparmar "Not working" is like "help". It says absolutely nothing. "when I run this command I get the following error message: " is the minimum you should always say. – Craig Ringer Aug 8 at 13:27
