Thread: restoring database
Hi all, I try to import a db dumped on another machine but I cannot have the restore command activated under tools. I am really new to PostGreSQL and pgadmin, so it is really hard for me to figure out what can be wrong. Suggestions? S. -- Dr. Simone Gadenz via P.

PgAdmin depends on pg_dump and pg_restore (which come as part of
PostgreSQL's tool set) to do backup and restore operations, and possibly
your PgAdmin installation doesn't know where they live.
In PgAdmin, look under File -> Options, and on the "General" tab look
for the "PG bin path" item - point it at the location of these programs.
They should be in /{path to your postgres installation}/bin.
HTH,
Ray.

Raymond, it was set correctly to /usr/bin/ where the executables are.
Under tools only the backup is actve...not the restore.

Are they really in /usr/bin/, as opposed to /usr/local/pgsql/bin/ (or some variation thereon...)? - not questioning your ability to read :-) but AFAIK the PG executables usually get installed in their own directory whether they come from a package or are compiled from source. Anyway, I'm afraid I'm stumped at this point...

The option is sensitive to the type of object you have selected in the treeview. Make sure you've selected a database node. -- Dave Page EnterpriseDB UK: http://www.enterprisedb.com
True...I pointed to a link. Now I point to the /usr/lib/postgresql/8.3/bin/ where the real file is but no restore active. A database node was selected. Grrrr.... I manage to restore the database using directly the pg_retore command, but I would like to have the pgadmin doing this...
