Re: pg_restore problem!!!

Mago-

pg_restore is used to restore a dump file created in one of the non-text
formats such as tar format.

To restore from a plain-text dump file, just pipe it into psql like so:

cat [filename] | psql [dbname]

Subject: [ADMIN] pg_restore problem!!!


I made a back up file with this sentence:

pg_dump -U [superusername] -C -D -f [filename]  [dbname]

It seems to work fine. I opened the file and I saw all the commands to
insert every piece of data and reconstruct my schema. However when I try to
restore that file it gets me the following error:

C:\>pg_restore [filename]
pg_restore: [archiver] input file does not appear to be a valid archive

What I am doing wrong??
Any ideas??

Thank you in advanced.
