从 .pgdump 文件恢复 postgresql 数据库

Question

I have a.pgdump file, which I want to use it to restore the database. I've tried pg_restore -d dbname datadump_filename in psql, but I got nothing. I ensured the path for PostgreSQL Binary Path in pgAdmin4 is the correct work directory where the dump file is.

The data dump file is binary file.

Answer 1

There are several things I changed to make it work.

I changed the pgAdmin4 path to the pg_restore path. To get the path on Mac, I ran which psql in the terminal.

Then I created a new db manually in pgAdmin4 mydb

Lastly, ran the command in the terminal pg_restore -x --no-owner mydb <DATA DUMP FILE>

The -x --no-owner flags stops pg_restore trying to set the ownership of the objects to the original owner.

-d flag can be ignored if the db was created manually.
