DB Dump - Mailing list pgsql-general

Hi

 

PostgreSQL v9.0

Win 7

 

I am using the following to dump a database.

 

I get an error – “could not open output file “.........backup”. Permission denied.”

 

To me, this sounds as if I am required to create an output file in order to get an output file.

 

In previous versions the output file was created as part of the transaction.

 

What am I missing?

 

pg_dump -h localhost -p 5432 -U postgres -v -f "PDW_cp_Nov_2011.backup" PDW
