Hi, I'm trying to use the psql application to execute pg_dump to backup a database named test_db. When I run psql interactively, as user dba connected to database test_db, and enter the command
\! pg_dump -U dba -f /backup/adp_test_db.bak -F c test_db The command executes with no error and the database gets backed up. However, when I put the command in the file /backup/backup.cmd and pass the file to psql as psql -f /backup/backup.cmd test_db dba The command fails with the message " does not exist database "test_dbdatabase "test_db. Please tell me what I am doing wrong. Thanks, Rich Harris ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
