i'm trying to have pg_restore create a new db and load the data.

unfortunately, pg_restore always uses the database name specified in the dump. 
"--create" and "--dbname=newdb" does not seem to have any effect (pg_restore 
yells about database being non-existant). 

what is the proper method to restore data from a previous named database 
"olddb" into a fresh database named "newdb"? the old database still exists and 
i don't want to overwrite the data.

regards,
thomas
