Hi, Seems to me your role "ronb" doesn't have the rights to create schema on your database.
Please refer to the GRANT command in the documentation. https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.0/static/sql-grant.html Sent from [ProtonMail](https://protonmail.ch), encrypted email based in Switzerland. -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [GENERAL] Unable to upload backups Local Time: 19 avril 2017 12:56 PM UTC Time: 19 avril 2017 10:56 From: ronb...@walla.co.il To: pgsql-general@postgresql.org Hi, I'm using PostgreSQL 9.3.2 I'm running the command: psql -h testserver -U ronb -f backup.sql -q -d foldertest 2>error.txt >output.txt This should generate my database in foldertest However this doesn't work. It's unable to create schemas in the error.txt i see "permission denied for database foldertest". I know this is not an access permission issue because there is a public schema which is buildin and it does create the tables/data in there. It just cant create new schemas. The intresting thing is that if I do: psql -h testserver -U postgres -f backup.sql -q -d foldertest 2>error.txt >output.txt Everything works. It create all schemas and generate the database correctly. I don't see any diffrent in the hba.conf between postgres and ronb users. What can be the problem?
