Thanks Adrian but

psql –U postgres -d PDW  -f PDW_June_10.sql

asks - "Password for user postgres:"

When I type the password the cursor doesn't respond and on enter I get password failed.

Hi

I am attempting to restore a database using -

psql PDW < PDW_June_10.sql

psql –U postgres PDW < PDW_June_10.sql

psql –U postgres -d PDW  -f PDW_June_10.sql


The response asks me for a password.

I use the same password with which I connect to the server but it is not
accepted.

Without the –U postgres identifier it asks me for the password of my
computer - which doesn’t exist.

Without a specified -U it psql will use your system user name.
See here for all the gory details:

How can I get around this??
