No, doesn't matter.

I do that to distinguish between plain text dumps(*.sql) and custom 
format dumps(*.out) for myself. Postgres itself does not care about the 
extension, or if there is an extension at all.

Per previous posts you want, whenever possible, to us a
newer version
of pg_dump to move a database from an older version(9.3) to
a newer
one(9.4). Therefore you should do your dump and restore
using the
pg_dump.exe and pg_restore.exe from the Bitanami bin
directory. I
would cd to the above directory and do:

pg_dump -V
pg_restore -V

to make sure the programs are found and are the 9.4 versions.

Then do:

pg_dump -Fc -p 5432 -U postgres -f irll_project.out irll_project

pg_restore -U postgres -p 5532 irll_project.out


that last needs to have -d newdbname where newdbname has already
been created, for instance, by...


Aah, my mistake. Yes you need to specify the database to get the
restore to work properly. Also explains why there is nothing in the
logs.


OK - with the inclusion of stating the dbname the restore works, but not
correctly: what is restored is 24 of 48 tables and 1 of 22 views from
one schema and no tables from the other schema.

A log appeared at 0:08 last night (I'm at GMT +1), which I've attached.
Plus, I did the dump and restore again this morning and have attached
the text from the windows shell if that helps




Well the one from this morning shows(I did not look through whole thing) 
you restoring over existing database objects. I would say at this point 
the  best thing you can do is get to a known state on the 9.4 cluster 
you want to dump to. I am assuming you are not doing anything with the 
database irll_project on the 9.4 server at this point, correct?


If so, for the below keep track of exactly what you do and the order you 
do it, in case you need to post back here.


1) On the 9.4 server, while logged into another database on the server, 
say postgres do:


DROP DATABASE irll_project;

2) Using the 9.4 version of pg_dump dump the 9.3 version of irll_project.

3) Using the 9.4 version of pg_restore restore irll_project to the 9.4 
server.

those are system shell commands, not psql sql commands. catch-22, in the

start -> run -> *CMD*

if your postgres is installed somewhere else, replace "c:\Program

Thanks. When I do this I get an error: could not find a "pg_dump" to

  You may try calling the app without setting the path first or check the

  C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\9.3\bin\ pg_dump -Fc -p 5432 

 

  Don’t forget to replace  with the database that you want to dump.

On 23 December 2015 at 15:47, Adrian Klaver From your post I would say the 9.3 instance was installed by the
one click installer from EDB and the 9.4 from Bitami, is that correct?

Correct.


So do you know where the 9.4 binaries are installed?

If by binaries, you mean the program files they are installed
C:\Bitnami\wappstack-5.5.30-0\postgresql\bin


Per previous posts you want, whenever possible, to us a newer version of 
pg_dump to move a database from an older version(9.3) to a newer 
one(9.4). Therefore you should do your dump and restore using the 
pg_dump.exe and pg_restore.exe from the Bitanami bin directory. I would 
cd to the above directory and do:


pg_dump -V
pg_restore -V

to make sure the programs are found and are the 9.4 versions.

Then do:

pg_dump -Fc -p 5432 -U postgres -f irll_project.out irll_project

pg_restore -U postgres -p 5532 irll_project.out

We had that already upthread.

Did you set the path to the bin dir of PostgreSQL as of previous posts?

Aren't you trying to move a database to PG 9.4? Then you need to use the 
pg_dump and pg_restore utilities of the 9.4 installation, not those of the 9.3 
one. Those utilities are guaranteed to be backwards compatible, but they're not 
necessarily forwards compatible.

 Try breaking the above down into two steps:

irll_project


Doing this step I get response

So cd into:

OK - --help on the 9.3 lists help options


In your original post you said you have a 9.3 instance and a 9.4 instance.

From your post I would say the 9.3 instance was installed by the one 
click installer from EDB and the 9.4 from Bitami, is that correct?


So do you know where the 9.4 binaries are installed?






 pg_restore -U postgres -p 5532 irll_project.out




  if/when it prompts for a password, thats the
password of the
  'postgres' database user, as configured in the

 servers.

  note it will prompt for the password a couple

  So cd into:

  and try:

  pg_dump --help

  that will at least establish that the command is
being found.


 OK - --help on the 9.3 lists help options


 In your original post you said you have a 9.3 instance and
a 9.4
 instance.

  >From your post I would say the 9.3 instance was installed

 one click installer from EDB and the 9.4 from Bitami, is
that correct?

Correct.


 So do you know where the 9.4 binaries are installed?

If by binaries, you mean the program files they are installed
C:\Bitnami\wappstack-5.5.30-0\postgresql\bin


Per previous posts you want, whenever possible, to us a newer
version of pg_dump to move a database from an older version(9.3) to
a newer one(9.4). Therefore you should do your dump and restore
using the pg_dump.exe and pg_restore.exe from the Bitanami bin
directory. I would cd to the above directory and do:

pg_dump -V
pg_restore -V

to make sure the programs are found and are the 9.4 versions.

Then do:

pg_dump -Fc -p 5432 -U postgres -f irll_project.out irll_project

pg_restore -U postgres -p 5532 irll_project.out


It appeared to work with this method, but it has now been running for
almost 4 hours with no result. The db is not that large (probably v.
small by most standards) and the .out file is ~200mb


What is running, the dump or the restore?

It's possible the restore is still building indexes.

What does it show when you run this query?

SELECT datname,
   pid as pid,
   client_addr,
   usename as user,
   query,
   CASE WHEN waiting = TRUE
THEN 'BLOCKED'
ELSE 'no'
END as waiting,
   query_start,
   current_timestamp - query_start as duration
  FROM pg_stat_activity
 WHERE pg_backend_pid() <> pid
ORDER BY datname,
 query_start;

Re: [GENERAL] Transfer db from one port to another

[Melvin Davidson]

Do not stop the active restore.
Just run psql from the command shell in the Bitnami binary directory and
use -U postgres and -p 5532 flags.

Since I ran the restore the windows shell has been 'active' with
codes
lines running - I took that as being active.!


So what do they say?

If I 'slow down' the code by using the scroll on the right I can see
words from the db I recognise, but the rest is very long alphanumeric
characters.



 What does the Postgres log for the 9.4 instance show?

Where is the log - here Control Panel\System and
Security\Administrative
Tools in event viewer or elsewhere?


My guess in the Bitnami directory tree under logs/ or something similar.


I can't see a log folder.


Not sure how you installed Bitnami, but here is quick reference showing 
file locations:

 But from your last reply, it looks like Postgres is finishing the
 restore by VACUUMing the database. That means it has to vacuum every table.
 Since you never told us the info about whether you have a 32 or 64 bit
 system, how much memory, what processor speed, etc, it's hard to say how
 long it will take.
 But if you have no errors in the postgresql log (after the restore
 completed), you should be fine.
 It's usually located in\data\pg_log

Re: [GENERAL] Transfer db from one port to another

[John R Pierce]

I was half awake early this AM and perused my email, and noted a fubar 
in one of the command sets shown to you but too sleepy to try and reply 
at the time, and now this thread is WAY too silly long to find it again, 
but I think someone neglected to put the database name on a pg_restore 
command. if you don't give pg_restore a dbname, it just spews the 
SQL out on the console, which is what it sounded like Killian may have 
described.



yeah, this one from Adrian, at 7:02am PST (Z-0800) this morning

Per previous posts you want, whenever possible, to us a newer version 
of pg_dump to move a database from an older version(9.3) to a newer 
one(9.4). Therefore you should do your dump and restore using the 
pg_dump.exe and pg_restore.exe from the Bitanami bin directory. I 
would cd to the above directory and do:


pg_dump -V
pg_restore -V

to make sure the programs are found and are the 9.4 versions.

Then do:

pg_dump -Fc -p 5432 -U postgres -f irll_project.out irll_project

pg_restore -U postgres -p 5532 irll_project.out 


that last needs to have -d newdbname where newdbname has already 
been created, for instance, by...


C:\Bitnami\wappstack-5.5.30-0\postgresql\bin\createdb -p 5532 -U 
postgres newdbname


BEFORE you can restore to it


anyways, this thread has gone on WAY too long, Killian needs to learn 
the basics of command line operations on MS Windows, which admittedly 
are rather klunky, but are quite outside the charter of the 
pgsql-general email list.





p.s.   please don't CC me answers, I get every email sent to the list, 
with the CC's I end up getting two of every one.

Apologies - I have looked, but what's in it doesn't appear to relate to the
current pg_restore as it was logged many hours before so I didn't mention
it, and its a 13mb file so I didn't attach it.

One thing I see it says


*ERROR:  syntax error at or near "1" at character 1STATEMENT:  1
 
010620E610010001030001004900A2EA743BD46B1DC0EC7756B43F1*
with the latter part being similar to the alphanumeric I see currently
running in the windows shell. This is all a bit above my pay grade as
you've probably gathered

Aah, my mistake. Yes you need to specify the database to get the restore 
to work properly. Also explains why there is nothing in the logs.




 C:\Bitnami\wappstack-5.5.30-0\postgresql\bin\createdb -p 5532 -U
postgres newdbname

You can rREDIRECT the output to a file!  EG: psql -U postgres -p 5532 >
your_output.txt
then use notepad to see the result.

But from your last reply, it looks like Postgres is finishing the restore

OK - I see the logs there - the last log was almost 12 hrs ago, so no

That's not very helpful. Depending on how you've configured the logging,
PostgreSQL may only create one log file a day.

Conventional thinking is It's what is IN the log file that is important.

 But from your last reply, it looks like Postgres is finishing the
 restore by VACUUMing the database. That means it has to vacuum every table.
 Since you never told us the info about whether you have a 32 or 64 bit
 system, how much memory, what processor speed, etc, it's hard to say how
 long it will take.
 But if you have no errors in the postgresql log (after the restore
 completed), you should be fine.
 It's usually located in\data\pg_log

Maybe drop messages that contain that *and* are not from the list bounce
address, ie envelope sender isn't pgsql-general-owner...@postgresql.org ?

Actually, rather than looking at the Subject: at all, you should look
to see if pgsql-general@postgresql.org is in To: or cc:, and combine
that with the wrong-sender filter.  That would avoid dropping private
replies.

Reply-to-all is a sufficiently ingrained habit around here that there
is exactly no chance people will do your filtering for you.  The reasons
for that are partly historical no doubt (the listserv used to be a lot
less reliable/prompt than it is now), but the custom is established.

so, ok, try the command with -U postgres, as *

if/when it prompts for a password, thats the password of the 'postgres' 
database user, as configured in the postgres servers.


note it will prompt for the password a couple times,  once for postgres 
on port 5432, and again for postgres on port 5532, at least if both 
database services are configured to require passwords for local connections.

I tried this, but nothing appears to happen when entering the commands.

those are system shell commands, not psql sql commands.  catch-22, in the

to execute the above commands try this...

start -> run ->  CMD 

(or, click on an 'Command Prompt' shortcut).

C:\Users\YourName> path "c:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\9.4\bin";%path%
C:\Users\YourName> pg_dump -Fc -p 5432  | pg_restore -p 5532

Thanks. When I do this I get an error: could not find a "pg_dump" to execute -

  Do you have a user killian in the database? If not you can either create 
it or use pg_dump with the –U switch to set it to the existing user (and with 
privileges on the database of course).


pg_restore: [archiver] input file is too short (read 0, expected 5)
 



if your postgres is installed somewhere else, replace "c:\Program

Hello

 

Why don’t you simply change the port in postgresql.conf and restart the server?

Subject: [GENERAL] Transfer db from one port to another

 

I am using Windows 8 64 bit, with postgreSQL 9.3 on port 5432 and postgreSQL 
9.4 on port 5532 with the latter set up to use with Bitnami stack to test php 
files I am generating from my db. 

I want to transfer my db with three schemas from port 5432 to port 5532 to use 
within the bitnami stack. I have used pgAdmin to create a backup.sql and when 
using pgAdmin to restore the .sql to port 5532 I get the following error

ERROR:  syntax error at or near "\"
LINE 26: \connect irll_project

with the lines in the .sql file created being

ALTER DATABASE irll_project OWNER TO postgres;

\connect irll_project


I have tried to use the Windows psql shell command to import using

\i 'C:/all.sql'

on pressing enter I see multiple occurrences saying invalid command, and then 
it ends with  

 

error: out of memory detail: failed on request of size 268435456

What is the correct command line?

Try it with plain pg_dump.

pg_dump -h localhost -p 5432 -Fc  > dump.sql

pg_restore -h localhost -p 5532 dump.sql

(untestet, please read *before* the documentation)


I think, this should work. No idea what's wrong with pgAdmin, not using
that.

i think, he wants the data from the one database within the other,
because of that he can't change the port.
