Re: Transfer db from one port to another

We had that already upthread.

Did you set the path to the bin dir of PostgreSQL as of previous posts?

Sorry, forgot to add: once I get the warning that the Pg_dump
can't be found there is then a password prompt; I tried the db
password and the pc password but both fail:

Password:
pg_dump: [archiver (db)] connection to database "irll_project"
failed: FATAL: p
assword authentication failed for user "killian"

note that databases don't have passwords, database USERS have
passwords. 'killian' probably doesn't have a database user, and
since you didn't specify a user, it defaulted to your system
username (expecting that user to have been created in postgres, and
wanting that probably non-existant postgres users passsword)

so, ok, try the command with -U postgres, as *

*pg_dump -Fc -p 5432 **-U postgres **irll_project | pg_restore
-U postgres -p 5532*

OK - I did the dir and it shows that the dump and restore.exe are there,
but running the above gives the below errors

09/06/2014 08:35 381,952 pg_dump.exe

09/06/2014 08:35 180,224 pg_restore.exe

C:\Users\killian>path "C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\9.3\bin";%path%

C:\Users\killian>pg_dump -Fc -p 5432 -U postgres irll_project |

pg_restore: [archiver] did not find magic string in file header
pg_dump: [custom archiver] could not write to output file: Invalid argument

Try breaking the above down into two steps:

pg_dump -Fc -p 5432 -U postgres -f irll_project.out irll_project

Doing this step I get response

could not find a "pg_dump" to execute

pg_restore -U postgres -p 5532 irll_project.out

if/when it prompts for a password, thats the password of the
'postgres' database user, as configured in the postgres servers.

note it will prompt for the password a couple times, once for
postgres on port 5432, and again for postgres on port 5532, at least
if both database services are configured to require passwords for
local connections.
