Is there a CREATE DATABASE statement in the file you are referencing?
Otherwise you will have to create the database first and then load the
file into it.

Yes there is assuming the [code][/code] tags are for the email only.
The issue is that Postgres will not understand AUTOINCREMENT. In
Postgres to get the same behavior you would do:
id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY
If you clean up the file you can do, assuming you created a database
called some_database:
psql -d some_database -U some_user -f your_file
If you do not want to do the manual clean up, then Willam's suggestion
looks interesting.
