Re: Problem with pg_restore into new database

tanks for reply.

Why should I connect to a existing database to restore another one ?
from documentation,pg_restore seems to can do this :
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/interactive/app-pgrestore.html

-C
--create
Create the database before restoring into it. (When this option is used, the database named with -d is used only to issue the initial CREATE DATABASE command. All data is restored into the database name that appears in the archive.) in my first attempt was no -d,no error and ... NO database
@echo off
"pg_restore.exe" -h 192.168.1.1 -p 5432 -U postgres -C -v "stru.tar" 2>>log_resto.txt
echo %errorlevel% >err_resto.txt

log file is :
pg_restore: creating DATABASE _struct_fis_
pg_restore: connecting to new database "_struct_fis_"
pg_restore: creating SCHEMA pos
pg_restore: creating SCHEMA public
pg_restore: creating COMMENT SCHEMA public
pg_restore: creating PROCEDURAL LANGUAGE plpgsql

I'm not sure I understand your problem fully, but this is because you
are trying to connect (-d ...) to database _struct_fis_ before it's
created. Connect to a database you know exists (template1 or postgres
for example) and then let the restore create the database.
