Thread: restoring with sql script
Help! I am creating a fail over server and one element of my system is using postgresql 8.0. I created a dump of the current DB and I want to restore "as is" on the fail over server. On the fail over I am using the command "psql -U <username> < <sql script>" to try to restore the the DB but when I press enter it does not ask me for my password and goes directly to the FATAL error of password is not authenticated. Any idea what I am doing wrong? I am following the instructions given by our vendor in how to back up and restore the pg DB. System Info: Win2003 server Demian Quiñonez Systems Developer

Help!
I am creating a fail over server and one element of my system is using
postgresql 8.0. I created a dump of the current DB and I want to
restore "as is" on the fail over server. On the fail over I am using
the command "psql -U <username> < <sql script>" to try to restore the
the DB but when I press enter it does not ask me for my password and
goes directly to the FATAL error of password is not authenticated.
Any idea what I am doing wrong? I am following the instructions given
by our vendor in how to back up and restore the pg DB.
