Обсуждение: How to use pg_restore with *.sql file?

Hi,

I have generate an *.sql file with the command:

[quote]
pg_dump -a --inserts databasename > exportfilename.sql
[/quote]

How can I use the pg_restore to import the data to the database?

I have tried:

[quote]
pg_restore -d databasename exportfilename.sql
[/quote]

But without success...

What is the best way to import the *.sql file to the database?


Best Regards,

Don't.

Just use psql with plain sql dumps:

psql databasename -f exportfilename.sql

Hey Andre,

You should not use pg_restore with plain format dump. Use psql for it.

Thanks a lot! It works.
