i'm trying to have pg_restore create a new db and load the data.
 
unfortunately, pg_restore always uses the database name specified in the dump. "--create" and "--dbname=newdb" does not seem to have any effect (pg_restore yells about database being non-existant).
 
what is the proper method to restore data from a previous named database "olddb" into a fresh database named "newdb"? the old database still exists and i don't want to overwrite the data.
 
regards,
thomas
