Hi All

Im having a problem restoring a data schema on Postgres 8.01 for Windows.
Im using the following command
psql -U username -d db1 > filename.dmp

This should have restored the schema from the file, filename.dmp to the
database, db1
I did create the database before restoring the data schema. And its not
working.

Am I missing something?
Thanks in advance.

Kind Regards,
Shaun Clements

Shouldn't that be
psql -U username -d db1 < filename.dmp

Hi,
Can u please try with the following command:
pg_dump -s dbname >DumpFileName.dmp
or
pg_dump -s -u dbname >DumpFileName.dmp

For the second, you will be asked for username & password.

Regards,
Sandeep

Try

psql.exe -U username -d db1 -f filename.dmp

If it does not work, paste the output from the terminal so we can see
what error you have. Are you sure filename.dmp is a plain text dump? If
not, you need to use pg_restore instead of psql.
