在Linux中备份postgreSQL数据库并在Windows中还原

Question

I am trying to dump a postgres database in Linux and then restore it in Windows. However, when I use the following command:

pg_dump -F p tempDB > tempDB.dump.out

The created file will not be usable in Windows. In fact, when I log into Windows I cannot see the file there! Then when I log in in Linux I notice the tempDB.dump.out file does not exist there either anymore. This is however, when I use the above command, tempDB.dump.out has a size about 400MB.

Am I doing something wrong?

Thank you in advance

When you execute this command pg_dump -F p tempDB > tempDB.dump.out the output file will be created in the same directory where you are. When you copy to some place (other directory) that can be acces for windows, you cant use pg_restore or with the pgadmin programm.
