uuupsss.. and while at comments:
pg_restore restores a PostgreSQL database from an archive cr
Usage:
pg_restore [OPTION]... [FILE]
General options:
-d, --dbname=NAME output database name (restore into a psql
database)
-f, --file=FILENAME output file name (create a plain text sql file)
-F, --format=c|t specify backup file format (custom or tar,
plain text is not possible)
---------
Yes, I know that "--format=c|t contains the same information; but ... it
can take quite some time to recognize. Especially ... pg_restore MAY be
used in a stress situation (database went down, backup has to be
installed...) when maybe the instructions for re-installations did not
got updated during the last 5 system updates....
(I know, in a correct managed world that would not happen.....)
