Hi,
I had a command that I used with Postgresql 8.2 that stopped working once I upgraded to 8.3.
I am running Postgresql 8.3 on Windows Vista with the following basic configuration:
- database: mydb
- user: mydbuser
- password: mydbpassword
- schema:myschema
- table: mytable
When I run the following commands:
>set PGPASSWORD=mydbpassword
>pg_dump mydb -U mydbuser -a -f backup.sql -F plain -t 'myschema.mytable'
I get the following error now: "pg_dump: too many command-line arguments"
Then, I tried the following to see what would happen:
>set PGPASSWORD=mydbpassword
>set PGDATABASE=mydb
>pg_dump --username=mydbuser --format=p --table='myschema.mytable' --verbose --data-only --file=backup.sql
Error:
dump: No matching tables were found
dump: *** aborted because of error
Does anyone know if there were changes from 8.2 to 8.3 that would cause the above command to stop working? I couldn't tell from the 8.3 documentation online.
If something changed, what is the appropriate parameter sequence to make that work?
Thanks,
Denison
