Обсуждение: Execute pg_dump using psql
Hi, I'm trying to use the psql application to execute pg_dump to backup a database named test_db. When I run psql interactively, as user dba connected to database test_db, and enter the command \! pg_dump -U dba -f /backup/adp_test_db.bak -F c test_db The command executes with no error and the database gets backed up. However, when I put the command in the file /backup/backup.cmd and pass the file to psql as psql -f /backup/backup.cmd test_db dba The command fails with the message " does not exist database "test_dbdatabase "test_db. Please tell me what I am doing wrong. Thanks, Rich Harris
Hi, I found my problem. When I put the 'pg_dump' command in a file, I used a 'Windows' editor instead of a 'Unix' editor. This appears to have caused the problem. When I converted to file from 'DOS' to 'Unix' format, psql executed the command in the file with no error. Sorry for the false alarm.

We think we have found the cause and it will be fixed in 8.0 beta2. I assume you are testing 8.0beta1? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Richard Harris wrote: > Hi, > > I found my problem.
