The following Windows batch script fails on the line with database restore:
@Echo off
set Path=C:\Program Files (x86)
set Backup_Path=C:\Program Files (x86)
c:
cd \
cd C:\Program Files (x86)\PostgreSQL\9.1\bin
@echo "Wait ..."
setlocal
set PGPASSWORD=1234
psql.exe -U postgres -c "create database Mydata"
"C:\Program Files (x86)\PostgreSQL\9.1\bin\pg_restore.exe" -h localhost -U postgres -d Mydata -f "Mydata.backup"
pause
endlocal
The error is:
pg_restore : -d / - dbname and -f / - file can not be used together
Try " pg_restore --help "
-f
is the output filename, not the input file.
The input file does not have any parameter switch.
c:\>pg_restore --help
pg_restore restores a PostgreSQL database from an archive created by pg_dump.
Usage:
pg_restore [OPTION]... [FILE]
General options:
-d, --dbname=NAME connect to database name
-f, --file=FILENAME output file name
-F, --format=c|d|t backup file format (should be automatic)
-l, --list print summarized TOC of the archive
-v, --verbose verbose mode
-V, --version output version information, then exit
-?, --help show this help, then exit
So you need to use:
pg_restore.exe -h localhost -U postgres -d Mydata "Mydata.backup"
