Hi Kevin,
My apology for insufficient post.
Here's what I did and its response:
testdb=# select * from pg_stat_database;
datid | datname | numbackends | xact_commit | xact_rollback | blks_read |
blks_hit | tup_returned | tup_fetched | tup_inserted | tup_updated |
tup_deleted

16384 | testdb | 1 | 310 | 0 | 105 |
5808 | 85597 | 1080 | 0 |
0 | 0
(4 rows)
Under datname column, I expected to see a name "canon".
Having said that, I think Ian is correct that I was missing -c flag in the
command below:
gunzip ..../dumpall20100822.0.gz | /usr/local/pgsql/bin/psql -f - postgres
This command, I think, uncompressed the file, but didn't feed the output
into the pipe and psql just waited and then received nothing and terminated.
Since the file got uncompressed, I am now running the command:
psql -f /home/tsakai/Notes/postgres/dumpall20100822.0
and I think it is working. It is giving messsages:
ERROR: role "postgres" already exists
STATEMENT: CREATE ROLE postgres;
ERROR: database "testdb" already exists
STATEMENT: CREATE DATABASE testdb WITH TEMPLATE = template0 OWNER =
postgres ENCODING = 'UTF8';
LOG: checkpoints are occurring too frequently (5 seconds apart)
HINT: Consider increasing the configuration parameter
"checkpoint_segments".
The last 2 lines are repeated many, many times. This is not terribly
Serious, is it? (I will fix it via postgresql.conf file shortly.)

Tena Sakai
