Re: pg_dump and pg_restore relative to the schema

Oops

Forgot to include the pg_dump

1 - I took the table ddl
/usr/pgsql-9.5/bin/pg_dump --username pgdba --format plain --file /var/lib/pgsql/armandp/csireg.csilogs --schema-only -d csireg --table=csi_logs

2 - Dumped the data

/usr/pgsql-9.5/bin/pg_dump --username pgdba --format custom --file /var/lib/pgsql/armandp/csireg.csilogs.data --data-only -d csireg --table=csi_logs

3 - Replaced csilog with csidev in csireg.csilogs

4 - In the new db , which has the schema csidev, I created the table using the DDL from (3)

5 - pg_restore fails
-bash-4.2$ /usr/pgsql-9.5/bin/pg_restore --username=pgdba --format=c /var/lib/pgsql/armandp/csireg.csilogs.data --data-only --dbname=csilog --table=csi_logs
pg_restore: [archiver (db)] Error while PROCESSING TOC:
pg_restore: [archiver (db)] Error from TOC entry 3553; 0 29955 TABLE DATA csi_logs pgdba
pg_restore: [archiver (db)] could not execute query: ERROR: relation "csi_logs" does not exist
Command was: COPY csi_logs (log_id, log_time, log_server_name, severity_level, log_message, json_data, stack_trace) FROM stdin;
