Hi,
v9.6.9
Why is pg_restore trying to drop my production database, when I (think I) am telling it to create the new database "Molson"?
Straight from the pg_restore documentation:
-C
"When this option is used, the database named with
-d is used only to issue the initial DROP DATABASE and CREATE DATABASE commands. All data is restored into the database name that appears in the archive."Also
" pg_restore -vcC --if-exists --jobs=8 -d postgres Molson "
pg_restore [connection-option...] [option...] [filename]
"Molson" is a file name; pg_restore doesn't use the file name aside from finding where the data you want to restore is located.
