That's not a complete command; I assume those are the options and arguments to pg_restore. As far as I can tell from the documentation and tests the final argument of "test_db" serves no purpose and is ignored. > I'm not getting an error message it just doesn't restore any of the tables. That contradicts your previous message, in which you said: > >>I'm trying to restore in a cluster using pg_restore and i'm receiving an > >>error from my recoverylog saying that there is no last checkpoint for my > >>backend. Do you mean that pg_restore doesn't give any errors but the server logs do? Please clarify, and if you're getting errors anywhere then please post the exact text (copy and paste -- don't type the error messages by hand). It might help if you could post a complete test case: all commands and SQL statements that create, populate, dump, and restore a simple test database. That way we can see from start to finish what you're doing, which might make finding the problem easier. -- Michael Fuhr
