Yes.  You need to enter passwords unless they are specified in
.pgpass or you have some form of authorization which doesn't require

Yes, you should create the target database before issuing this --
you can add a parameter to the dump to cause it to create the
database, but I always feel safer creating it myself and pointing to
an existing database.
