Re:

Hello

I never used pg_restore, but I assume that it works similarly to other PG tools, i.e. if you don’t specify a user to connect to the database it will take your unix user name. I assume that your step number 6 is the closing of the shell where you were as user postgres because after 5 you already are out of psql.

So the questions is, if you have a DB user alex with the Create privilege on the database icare.

If not you may try the following:

- Open a psql terminal (steps 1-3)

- CREATE ROLE alex LOGIN SUPERUSER PASSWORD '...';

And try the pg_restore again (steps 5-7).

You may also try to omit step 6 but then all you DB objects will be owned by postgres. If this is what you need it is fine.

Hope this helps.

Bye

From what I understand, it means that the postgresql user that is
restoring the dump cannot create a schema on "icare" database. So, is
that user the same that issued che "create database" earlier? If it's
not, then you should grant all required priviledges to that user.
