Um ... you do realize that in this mode pg_restore just prints the SQL
commands to its stdout? You're supposed to pipe them into psql if you
want anything to really happen. Or you can add a -d switch (usually
"-d template1" when using -C) if you want pg_restore to connect to a
database server and issue the commands directly.
