Hi,
Here : http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.4/static/app-pgrestore.html
You can read :
-C
--create
Create the database before restoring into it. (When this option is used,
the database named with -d is used only to issue the initial CREATE DATABASE
command. All data is restored into the database name that appears in the
archive.)
-d dbname
--dbname=dbname
Connect to database dbname and restore directly into the database.
Although "All data is restored into the database name that appears in the
archive" is unclear, as when dumping with "pg_dump -F c" the dump does not
contain the database name ...
