Ok, so I am fairly new to RDS and AWS, but I can't for the life of me, get the database that I created on my laptop, onto amazon RDS, I did move it to my test VPS and also my desktop machine, with no problems at all, here is what I have tried so far..
create extension postgis;
create extension fuzzystrmatch;
create extension postgis_tiger_geocoder;
create extension postgis_topology;
alter schema tiger owner to rds_superuser;
alter schema topology owner to rds_superuser;
CREATE FUNCTION exec(text) returns text language plpgsql volatile AS $f$ BEGIN EXECUTE $1; RETURN $1; END; $f$;
SELECT exec('ALTER TABLE ' || quote_ident(s.nspname) || '.' || quote_ident(s.relname) || ' OWNER TO rds_superuser')
FROM (
SELECT nspname, relname
FROM pg_class c JOIN pg_namespace n ON (c.relnamespace = n.oid)
WHERE nspname in ('tiger','topology') AND
relkind IN ('r','S','v') ORDER BY relkind = 'S')
s;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE testgetwork TO luke;
Then I connect to the database and try and load my local copy of the new database...
luke@l-xps:~$ psql --host=myhost.dns.us-west-2.rds.amazonaws.com --port=5432 --username=luke --password --dbname=testgetwork < testgetwork.sql
Password for user luke:

ERROR: permission denied for relation spatial_ref_sys

My question is, how can I move on from here? All of the features just seemed to be blocked by a permissions problem, by user luke is part of the rds_superuser group, does anyone who has experience with PostGIS and RDS know how I can rectify this?
