I have some data which I backed up from a FreeBSD machine. In FreeBSD the
DB superuser is pgsql. In Red Hat Linux it is Postgresql.
when i try to use pg_restore to get some data which was in FreeBSD to Red
Hat I get an error.
bash-2.05$ pg_restore -d temp -U postgres -S postgres bestpal.dump
pg_restore: [archiver (db)] could not reconnect to database: FATAL 1:
IDENT authentication failed for user "pgsql"
I even tried creating a user pgsql in the Red Hat machine, but that didn't
help.
Any suggestions?
The file I created was compressed. Do I need to use the ASCII format to
move data across?
