pg_dump -h sourcehost -U sourceuser sourcedatabase | psql -h desthost -U
destuser destdatabase

you may have to add a parameter for the password depending on your pg_hba.conf
settings. Both databases need to be network enabled and have a pg_hba.conf
entry for the machine you're running this command on.

createdb -- template=sourcedatab
ase newdatabase will also work (and
probably work faster) if you can kick everyone out of sourcedatabase and
you're doing all this on one machine.
