Hi Everybody,
I installed a postgres 8.4.4 onto a centos 5.5 machine and attempted to res=
tore
data from a file made by pg_dumpall. It didn=92t work, it seems. What I d=
id was to
follow the instruction given in INSTALL file which comes with the source di=
stribution.
The section Getting Started gives a list and I did all but #5 (createdb tes=
tdb + psql testdb).
Instead of #5, I ran the command below:
gunzip ..../dumpall20100822.0.gz | /usr/local/pgsql/bin/psql -f =96 post=
gres
Which terminated with exit status 0.
But when I look at pg_stat_database I don=92t see the database I expected.
Can somebody please tell me why this didn=92t work? Also, what must I do t=
o successfully
restore the database?
Thank you in advance.
Regards,
Tena Sakai

At a glance, you may need gunzip -c.
