Oh, I'd forgotten that, but you're right.  A quick test shows that it
changed in 9.2.

Older pg_dump in particular.  Seems like a good bet.

A gripe to the pgadmin folks might still be in order; I'd think it was
within their charter to shield users from this sort of version
compatibility consideration.

What version of PostgreSQL?

9.3 documentation indicates that using both together should work.

Are you maybe hitting an older database with a newer version of pgadmin?

I get this error when i'm trying to create a backup of some of my

I will appreciate any help, thanks in advance.


According to pgAdmin3 you cannot use both -C and -c at the same time.

Not sure why:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.3/interactive/app-pgdump.html

-c
--clean

Output commands to clean (drop) database objects prior to 
outputting the commands for creating them. (Restore might generate some 
harmless error messages, if any objects were not present in the 
destination database.)


This option is only meaningful for the plain-text format. For the 
archive formats, you can specify the option when you call pg_restore.


-C
--create

Begin the output with a command to create the database itself and 
reconnect to the created database. (With a script of this form, it 
doesn't matter which database in the destination installation you 
connect to before running the script.) If --clean is also specified, the 
script drops and recreates the target database before reconnecting to it.


This option is only meaningful for the plain-text format. For the 
archive formats, you can specify the option when you call pg_restore.



What version of pgAdmin3 are you using?

What options are you using when running the pgAdmin3 backup tool?

I ask because pgAdmin will not issue a CREATE DATABASE by default.

Like it says, you should not use both the -C and -c command-line options
to pg_dump.  I'm not sure how that translates to what you're doing in
pgAdmin3, but presumably you're selecting some incompatible options there.

You might want to gripe about it on the pgadmin mailing list (not here),
as it seems like they could provide a more user-friendly complaint.
