Hi. I am trying to restore a database from a pgdump file, something that I've sucessfully done before.
I created a new database cluster, created the database that I want to restore using create database subptf with template = template0; and then I tried to restore the database using ./psql subptf < subptf.pgdump The first part of what I get is ERROR: syntax error at or near "PGDMP" LINE 1: PGDMP ^ GRANT GRANT ERROR: syntax error at or near "" LINE 1: ptffield integer, ^ ERROR: syntax error at or near "" LINE 1: f1 integer, ^ ERROR: syntax error at or near "" LINE 1: AS $$ ^ ERROR: syntax error at or near "" LINE 1: AS $_X$ ^ ERROR: syntax error at or near "" LINE 1: AS $_X$ ^ ERROR: syntax error at or near "" LINE 1: AS $$ ... The last part of what I get is ... vJ?N'g...@??????q7?2g?0k??$??slz^p?>??k??|????A?ʞ?A??f-j \p: extra argument "zr_?q«+_???c?ܦ?e??...@???ߒq????y+?v?*?x?d}x?r?ǯ?67??e???y?/4o?f?u??ڇw?5???.??a????????n...@??_???--kd??i?satb?ak????Ƴ?ҕz?k??&?{?zUt_???{ ?????Tt ???Au????.?V9?rpZ?g?l??8???0³???3 ޒ????}?-??Vӭ????f????+,?mo?HN??+? ?R??z?:?x[bk˯?R_?8ed?ЀI???&=>%?2H??B"???" ignored \p: extra argument ":P" ignored \p: extra argument ";???P?+?1?i?)??a=?" ignored unterminated quoted string invalid command \??c?> ??Փ%??U???3+??U?SƳǕ???9?????.???e+ invalid command \W??????????????_tUÁ+MK??z?ܦ?H??`o??-/s??n?s?3?sy?6{7??^grp?????...@?l#??g7hw??j?ӣ?t30={?? invalid command \??g.??? invalid command \AJ??E?$?TC?r?f]?B?? invalid command \??Hzp?Y2??8?@ invalid command \Ā?(?%?O \connect: FATAL: database "???6??$?^" does not exist I feel like I'm making some beginner's error here, but I haven't run into this before.
