And thanks for investing time anyway ! > You are using PostgreSQL version 8.4 on Ubuntu 14.04 > Since pg_dump requires an output file, and the database you are dumping > must be known, just just the db name in the path. > eg: pg_dump unknown_db > /dumpdir/unknown_db/whatever_filename_you_want.dmp Thanks for this suggestion. This option was already included in the ones I figured out myself :-) However, I had listed the assumptions about the dump and the db name being in the dump name wasn't one of them 8-) Thanks, Karsten -- GPG key ID E4071346 @ eu.pool.sks-keyservers.net E167 67FD A291 2BEA 73BD 4537 78B9 A9F9 E407 1346 -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
