    I agree with Brent here that it works nicely for me as well to
    pg_dump <src db params> | psql <target db params><br>
    <br>
    Just a word of caution that you may want to make sure that your
    pg_dump excludes any PostGIS installation, especially if you are
    changing versions.  Otherwise, you are going to overwrite your new
    installation with old PostGIS function definitions and confusion
    will abound.<br>
    <br>
    Typically PostGIS is installed in the public schema, so I usually do
    this which excludes the public schema from the dump:<br>
    pg_dump -N public <other args> <dbname> | psql
    <options><br>
    <br>
    Eventually, I would love to see PostGIS installed in it's own schema
    which is treated by PostgreSQL like any other system schema
    (information_schema, pg_catalog) and automatically excluded from
    pg_dump.  But for now, manual exclusion works.<br>
    <br>
    Cheers,<br>

              If SuSE created a Postgis enabled template, you could use
              that as the basis for your new database, so it will
              already have Postgis installed.<br>
              <br>
              Otherwise use the usual commands to install Postgis in a
              Postgres database:<br>
              <br>
              createlang plpgsql <new db>  (not needed with
              Postgres v9.0+)<br>
              psql -d <new db> -f <path to>/postgis.sql<br>
              psql -d <new db> -f <path
              to>/spatial_reference_sys.sql<br>
              <br>
              You'll need to find where SuSE has put the last two files,
              if you have "locate" installed, then <br>
              "locate postgis.sql" will tell you where, or you can use
              "find"...<br>
              <br>

                  Hi..<br>
                  <br>
                  I created the database manually, but how do I install
                  postgis into this database ?<br>
                  I´ve used Software Management to install postgresql
                  and postgis, but when I create a new database it´s
                  completelly empty.<br>
