Re: pg_restore is not working

[M Sarwar <sarwarmd02@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Here is my update.

I was using pg_restore with -t 'schema-name.tablename'.

After reading the document, https://www.postgresql.org/docs/16/app-pgrestore.html, I tried to avoid using the clause of -t in pg-restore command. I just restored the entire which has just 1 table dump.

In my opinion if there is any issue with -t clause in pg_restore, it should through an error instead of it is simply coming out without throwing any error.

Thanks,

Sarwar

Hi Ron,

I did try using -Fc clause. pg_dump is running fine but pg_restore is having the same issue.

I tried once again now after seeing your email and getting the same scenario.

Pg_Dump:-

PS H:\> pg_dump -Fc -v -h sharded -U db_sarwar -d NGBRDVDB -t 'bronxdev.errors' -f C:\Mohammed\Work\NGC\Apps\Bronx\Backups\Dumps\data\backup_Dev_Bronxdev-Errors_20231024-6.DUMP

Pg_dump ran fine.

 

Pg_Restore:-

 

PS H:\> pg_restore -v -h sharded  -U db_sarwar -d bronxdb1 -t 'bronxdev.errors' C:\Mohammed\Work\NGC\Apps\Bronx\Backups\Dumps\data\backup_Dev_Bronxdev-Errors_20231024-6.DUMP

pg_restore: connecting to database for restore

Password:

pg_restore: implied data-only restore

PS H:\> pg_restore -Fc -v -h sharded  -U db_sarwar -d bronxdb1 -t 'bronxdev.errors' C:\Mohammed\Work\NGC\Apps\Bronx\Backups\Dumps\data\backup_Dev_Bronxdev-Errors_20231024-6.DUMP

It has no errors but it did not restore the data.

This works for me.  I just tested it.  You'll have to convert from bash to Windows.

SrcHost=somehost
DescHost=anotherhost

SrcDir=/var/lib/pgsql/backups/test

SrcDB=somedb

DestDB=anotherdb

Tbl=public.job

pg_dump --host=$SrcHost -Fc -t $Tbl -v -d ${SrcDB} -f $SrcDir/${Tbl}.dump

pg_restore --host=$DestHost -v -d ${DestDB} ${SrcDir}/${Tbl}.dump

Thanks,

Sarwar

Hi,

Restore is having no errors but it is not restoring any data.
I have used the below command pg_dump
pg_dump -F t -v -h bronxdb1.c52p1yyyjuib.us-xxx-west-1.rds.amazonaws.com -U db_sarwar -d NGBRDVDB -t 'bronxdev.errors' -f C:\Mohammed\Work\NGC\Apps\Bronx\Backups\Dumps\data\backup_Dev_Bronxdev-Errors_20231024-5.DUMP

Why "-Ft" instead of "-Fc" for a .dump file?

I am using the below command for the restore.

PS H:\> pg_restore -F t -v -h bronxdb1.c52p1fyyyuib.us-xxx-west-1.rds.amazonaws.com -U db_sarwar -d bronxdb1 -t 'bronxdev.errors' C:\Mohammed\Work\NGC\Apps\Bronx\Backups\Dumps\data\backup_Dev_Bronxdev-Errors_20231024-5.DUMP
