| Hi Everybody, I am a bit troubled by pg_dump and pg_restore. My platform is redhat linux, Del 64 bit hardware, running postgres 8.3.7. I have a database named canon and I want to move a schema full of tables from canon to a new database named musket. The schema I am interested in is called tsakai. Here's what I have done: $ env | grep PG PGUSER=postgres PGDATABASE=canon PGHOST=localhost PGDATA=/usr/local/pgsql/data $ $ pg_dump -n tsakai > canon_tsakai.sql $ $ echo $? 0 $ $ pg_restore -l canon_tsakai.sql pg_restore: [archiver] input file does not appear to be a valid archive $ $ pg_restore -d musket canon_tsakai.sql pg_restore: [archiver] input file does not appear to be a valid archive Can someone please tell me (1) if there is anything wrong with my invocation of pd_dump? (I want to generate a file pd_restore can use to feed to musket database.) (2) Why pg_restore wouldn't give me listing? And (3) why the second pg_restore command is upset? Thank you. Regards, Tena sakai |
