[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



When I restore from a pg_dumpall file, I am required to peform the following steps or else all the records in the databses are duplicated.  If I only empty the data/base folder I get al sorts of errors. I find in necessary to wipe the entire data folder and rebuild it with initdb. Is there a better way to restore using a pg_dumpall file then doing all these steps:
 

		*	stop postmaster service
		*	delete everything in the data folder (var/lib/pgsql/data)
		*	as postgres user run initdb
		*	exit postgres user
		*	psql -U postgres -f pg_dumpall_file postgres
