Hi All -

                Is there a way to direct the message generated during pg_restore to a log file?

Regards

I think you can use "-f outputfile".

pg_restore -h 10.xx.xx.xxx  -d dbName  -n schemaName -v -U postgres  testDB_20100414.txt    -f outputifile


I got the following error "pg_restore: options -d/--dbname and -f/--file cannot be used together"

I think you would either capture stdout or stderr (I'm honestly not sure which is required)


  pg_restore -all options >output.txt 2>&1

That's odd.  I can't see why those settings should conflict, although
I notice you haven't specified your input file as the last parameter.
It shouldn't appear before the other arguments.

Anyone else know?

Yeah, the output file isn't for messages, it's for the data.  You can restore a compressed dump to two places, either a text file (-f) or a database (-d).
