[ADMIN] pg_restore problem with 7.3.1

[Ian Burrell]

I am upgrading my PostgreSQL install from 7.2.3 to 7.3.1. I ran into a problem with pg_restore creating the database. I am not sure if this is a documentation problem or a real bug. I have one database with BLOBs and used tar format backup: "pg_dump -Ft -b mpmx > backup.tar".

I saw the -C option for pg_restore to create the database. The man page also says that with the -C option, the -d option specifies the database create the database from

pg_restore -C -d template1 backup.tar

Instead of creating the mpmx database, the command loaded everything into the template1 database.

Is the man page correct about the operation of the -C option? Should I have run things differently? I noticed that without the -d option, pg_restore spits out a script to restore the database. Should I create the database manually and restore it by piping pg_restore into psql?
How can I return template1 to its initial state?
