This is the wrong way to go about asking for help, nevertheless...

You have to send your exact commands, the output and any error
messages. Only then will you be able to get directed and relevant
help.

You also need to learn a bit about the basics of GIS, and at least
read the excellent PostGIS docs. If you are such a newbie to GIS, you
really shouldn't be working on such an urgent task.

If you have tried Steve's command, send your error messages.
