Hello there,
One of our PostgreSQL 9.4.1 databases has been backed up as *.gz file
with the compression 9 "pg_dump -Z 9". What is the right format of
restore this file when needed? Can I run the restore from a compressed
file or I need to unzip the file first, then run pg_restore? Thanks
It depends on whether you dumped using the custom format -Fc or plain(no
-F or -Fp). If the custom format then you run pg_restore against it. If
the plain format then you will to unzip first then feed the file to psql.
