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
 
Bob
