I am trying to dump the database in my local system by using the command:
pg_restore --host=localhost --port=5432 --dbname=dev_db --no-owner --no-privileges db_dump_new.backup
but I am getting the error:
pg_restore: [archiver] input file is too short (read 0, expected 5)
What am I doing wrong?
If you're using docker and redirecting the dump file from your local machine, don't forget -i
. This won't work:
docker exec <container> pg_restore -U "$USER" < ./localfile.dump;
Be sure that the docker container can see standard in with the -i
option! This should work:
docker exec -i <container> pg_restore -U "$USER" < ./localfile.dump;
I encountered the same error. In my case I had simply neglected to specify the backup file at the end of the command.
In my case I used docker
$ docker exec a5f7b094c523 pg_restore -d my_new_db < "./2256.dump"
pg_restore: [archiver] input file is too short (read 0, expected 5)
And the issue was that "./2256.dump" is not a binary file but a plain sql text dump.
To check that just do
$ head ~/2256.dump
--
-- PostgreSQL database dump
--
-- Dumped from database version 10.8 (Ubuntu 10.8-0ubuntu0.18.04.1)
-- Dumped by pg_dump version 10.8 (Ubuntu 10.8-0ubuntu0.18.04.1)
SET statement_timeout = 0;
SET lock_timeout = 0;
SET idle_in_transaction_session_timeout = 0;
And to import sql dump fo
$ pv ~/2256.dump |docker-compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml -f docker-compose.override.yml -T db psql "fight-round3"
Use this command, it will work perfectly to restore the db file using sql file in Postgres 13 in pgadmin 4
C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\13\bin>psql -U user_name db_name< D:\dbfile\sql_file.sql
