Greetings,
I have recently been given some files and told they were "postgre SQL
database" files. I have a couple of questions.
I am new to databases and postgresql. I have managed to install
postgresql-7.2.2, initialize it, and get postmaster started under
FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE.
Question #1: How can I tell if I have actual "postgresql database"
files? The files have no extension. The `file` command
reports the files are "MS-Windows true type font .ttf"
files.
db_restore doesn't like the files:
pg_restore: [archiver] input file does not appear to be a
valid archive
Question #2: If these are database files, how can I get the data back
in the database?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
--
