Failed to restore/recreate database (one more piece of info)

Hi,

I mentioned in the previous posting that the file 20091114.6.gz
was made by:
pg_dumpall | gzip > 20091114.6.gz

At which point, there was only one databasae (named canon) and
no database named musket existed.

Now that I am thinking, maybe the file made by pg_dumpall has
"canon" encoded and therefore what I did logically did not copy
any canon tables into musket? Could this be the case?

If so, how would I duplicate an existing database and call it
with a different name?

Regards,

Yup, exactly. It would have created canon and restored into that.

Use pg_dump not pg_dumpall.

Hi Tom,

Many thanks for your assistance.

I am on my way. Here's what I am doing:

dropdb musket
createdb musket
pg_dump canon > canon.dump
psql -d musket -f canon.dump

I am on the 4th step. But I could achieve the same with:

dropdb musket
createdb musket
pg_dump canon | psql -d musket -f -

can't I? Aside from styling, there is no functional difference
between two procedures, is there?

Thank you.

Regards,

You're right, there are no functional differences.
