How to save PostgreSQL schema?

Question

I need to send the schema of a PostgreSQL db to the customer.
How can I do that?
I cannot find it in db directory.

Answer 1

It is better to use the pg_dump utility to export the schema and load back on another machine :

pg_dump -U postgres --schema-only db_name > file.txt

And then you can load it back on another machine/instance with the psql utility :

psql -U postgres db_name < file.txt
