This is the wrong way to invoke pg_restore. "-f file" is an *output* file name. -d and -f are mutually contradictory options ... not sure why the thing doesn't complain about that. What you want is just pg_restore -d sampledbtest -v -c -O -h 192.128.2.51 -p 5432 -u inputfilename Depending on whether -d or -f takes precedence, the program might have tried to overwrite your dump file; better check. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
