tanks for reply. Why should I connect to a existing database to restore another one ? from documentation,pg_restore seems to can do this : http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/interactive/app-pgrestore.html
-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.) in my first attempt was no -d,no error and ... NO database @echo off "pg_restore.exe" -h 192.168.1.1 -p 5432 -U postgres -C -v "stru.tar" 2>>log_resto.txt echo %errorlevel% >err_resto.txt log file is : pg_restore: creating DATABASE _struct_fis_ pg_restore: connecting to new database "_struct_fis_" pg_restore: creating SCHEMA pos pg_restore: creating SCHEMA public pg_restore: creating COMMENT SCHEMA public pg_restore: creating PROCEDURAL LANGUAGE plpgsql ............................. ________________________________ From: Richard Huxton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Mr. John <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: pgsql-general@postgresql.org Sent: Monday, November 17, 2008 11:31:28 AM Subject: Re: [GENERAL] Problem with pg_restore into new database Mr. John wrote: > but on the server is no database called _struct_fis_ > err_resto.txt file contents only "0". > > If I add -d > @echo off > "pg_restore.exe" -h 192.168.1.1 -p 5432 -U postgres -d "_struct_fis_" -C -v > "stru.tar" 2>>log_resto.txt > echo %errorlevel% >err_resto.txt > > error is "1" and log file : > > pg_restore: connecting to database for restore > pg_restore: [archiver (db)] connection to database "_struct_fis_" failed: > FATAL: database "_struct_fis_" does not exist > pg_restore: *** aborted because of error I'm not sure I understand your problem fully, but this is because you are trying to connect (-d ...) to database _struct_fis_ before it's created. Connect to a database you know exists (template1 or postgres for example) and then let the restore create the database. -- Richard Huxton Archonet Ltd -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
