It certainly should work. We've seen some platforms where libreadline seems to be unable to tell the difference between input from a terminal and input from a file, and performs a boatload of processing that would be useful for interactive input but is just overhead here. If that's your problem, try this form instead: psql -h host -p port -d database -U user -f dump.sql regards, tom lane
