PostGIS Cookbook - Second Edition

Getting ready

In this recipe, we will use the dump and restore methods to move user data to a new database with a new PostGIS installation. Unlike the other methods, this method is the most foolproof, works in all situations, and stores a backup in case things don't work as expected.

As mentioned before, creating a schema specifically to work with PostGIS may not work properly for Windows users. Working on the public schema is an option in order to test the results.
