Two ways to handle the errors: 1) on your dump, include another parameter (-O) so that ownership is not assigned:
pg_dump -h 192.168.0.202 -O -U pgsql computerking > dumpfile.txt The trouble with this is that ownership will be assigned to the user that you use to import the database. If you're like me, the user you created to use with LSMB doesn't have super user privileges so it can't handle creating the plpgsql language. So, you'll need to go in and change permissions for each object after import, which can be tedious. The leads me to alternative #2... 2) open the dump file and replace every instance of role "sql-ledger" with the appropriate user After you've done one of the two above, import the new dump file with: psql yourdb SUPERUSER -f dumpfile.txt You must use a superuser for the import. If you do number two and you've already created the user with the proper permissions, then your objects will be assigned to the appropriate user on import. And you're correct, proper syntax is psql [DBNAME] [USERNAME]. Apologies for getting that mixed up.
