Re: restore question

Thanks Ray, running 

pSql -f backup-file.sql 



psql: error: FATAL: database "rhaynes74" does not exist

Which seems odd since rhaynes74 is a user not a database name in the file.

Hi folks,  I am a fairly novice postgresql user.



I have a backup file for a couple of small postgresql databases.    The
backup file was created using postgresql 12.2, my Mac now has a
postgresql 13.x or 14.x versions.   I would like to restore the setup
from the backup file.


That looks like a dump file generated by pg_dumpall, so restoring it
should be as simple as:

psql -f backup-file.sql

You'll possibly need other connection parameters as required by psql,
such as -U (the PostgreSQL user to use for connecting) or others.

HTH,

Ray.
