还原备份时，pg_restore 连接到数据库失败错误

Question

I have a backup file in tar format and there is no problem while getting this backup. However, when trying to restore this backup using the following script, I encountered "pg_restore: error: connection to database "db-dev" failed: FATAL: password authentication failed for user "db-dev-user"" error after entering password.

pg_restore -v -h 127.0.0.1 -p 5432 -d db-dev -U db-dev-user < C:\dB\db-dev.tar

I am trying to restore this backup to a Docker container where I can easily create an empty database with the same name (db-dev). I am also using Windows 10. So, how can I fix the problem? May the problem related to Docker?

Answer 1

The -U option must specify an existing user in the target database, and you have to specify the user's password when calling pg_restore .

Use a user with the permissions required to create the dumped objects and make sure that the target's pg_hba.conf allows the user database access from your client machine.
