Hi
PostgreSQL v9.0
Win 7
I am using the following to dump a database.
I get an error – “could not open output file “.........backup”. Permission
denied.”
To me, this sounds as if I am required to create an output file in order
to get an output file.
In previous versions the output file was created as part of the
transaction.
What am I missing?
pg_dump -h localhost -p 5432 -U postgres -v -f "PDW_cp_Nov_2011.backup"
PDW
I suppose it means that the "PDW_cp_Nov_2011.backup" file already exists
but the OS user executing pg_dump has no right to overwrite it.
