Thread: pg_restore must failure on attempt

As I try to restore my data, I get the warning message:

pg_restore: [archiver] input file does not appear to be a valid archive (too
short?)


Ok, but the job ends with green status, I want it to finish with error. Is
there any way of using $? there?

First guess is you are using pg_restore to restore a text based dump file.  If
the database dump is in text format you will need to use psql.
