Hi everybody, I wanted to duplicate a database, but wound up with nothing, It seems. I am using 8.3.7 on redhat linux. Here's what I did (as user postgres): bash-3.00$ createdb musket bash-3.00$ bash-3.00$ df /pgsql Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/mapper/VolGroup01-LogVol02 1548184780 358554536 1110987044 25% /pgsql bash-3.00$ bash-3.00$ createdb musket bash-3.00$ bash-3.00$ gunzip /home/postgres/backup/20091114.6.gz | psql -d musket -f - bash-3.00$ bash-3.00$ echo $? 0 bash-3.00$ bash-3.00$ psql musket Welcome to psql 8.3.7, the PostgreSQL interactive terminal. Type: \copyright for distribution terms \h for help with SQL commands \? for help with psql commands \g or terminate with semicolon to execute query \q to quit musket=# musket=# \dt public.* No matching relations found. musket=# musket=# \q bash-3.00$ bash-3.00$ df /pgsql Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/mapper/VolGroup01-LogVol02 1548184780 358554564 1110987016 25% /pgsql bash-3.00$ There must be something wrong with the way I used psql with the option (-f -), although I can't see what that would be. The file 20091114.6.gz was made by: pg_dumpall | gzip > 20091114.6.gz Would someone please clue me in?
