PostgreSQL 8.2.4 on RedHat ES4 64-bit
Hi all,
Doing some works on a database this morning (changing it to take data from
our new ERP system) so naturally I made a backup of the database first:
pg_dump important_database > ~/backup/important-071229.sql
chmod 440 ~/backup/important-071229.sql
Of course things have screwed up (fortunately no-one is working today) and I
need to restore:
psql
ALTER DATABASE important_database RENAME TO
important_database071229;
CREATE DATABASE important_database;
\q
psql important_database < ~/backup/important-071229.sql
But I get a whole bunch of errors, for example:
<snip>
ERROR: syntax error at or near "all"
LINE 1: all orders over $400.00 - freight free Order 10 of any produ...
^
ERROR: syntax error at or near "If"
LINE 1: If stores spend over $300.00 they will receive a 5% discount...

invalid command \.

invalid command \N

Both psql and pg_dump are the correct versions:
[postgres@stirling ~]$ ls -lh `which pg_dump`
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 31 Jul 25 11:51 /usr/local/bin/pg_dump ->
/usr/local/pg-8.2.4/bin/pg_dump
[postgres@stirling ~]$ ls -lh `which psql`
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 28 Jul 25 11:51 /usr/local/bin/psql ->
/usr/local/pg-8.2.4/bin/psql
(I compile each new version of Postgres to it's own folder and data dir:
/usr/local/pg-<version>/ and /home/Postgres/pgData-<version> )
What am I doing wrong?
Cheers,
