The following
"C:\Program Files (x86)\pgAdmin III\1.14\pg_restore.exe" --host localhost --port 5432 --username "postgres" --password "postgres" --dbname "base_nationale" --verbose "E:\dump\ff_d01_2011.dump"
gives this error message:
pg_restore: too many command-line arguments (first is "--host"
why it doesn't fuctionne?
You can't specify a value for --password. That switch only forces a password prompt and should actually never be needed.
Just remove the part --password "postgres". If a password is needed, pg_restore will automatically prompt you for it.
If you want to run that command without a password prompt, you need a .pgpass file or use the environment variable PGPASS

I want to import a backup using pg_restore without a password prompt.
I tried several options but after I run the script it will always ask for a password. pg_dump is working but not pg_restore. I can run the pg_restore command if I enter my password but I want a passwordless command or at least I don't want to enter my password because the script has to work without user interaction.
What is working for me:
PGPASSWORD=xyz pg_dump -h localhost -U user -Fc database > ~/dump_prod.pgsql
What is NOT working
1.)
PGPASSWORD=xyz pg_restore -h localhost -d database -U user -W --clean --no-owner ~/dump_prod.pgsql
2.)
pg_restore --dbname=postgresql://user:pass#localhost:5432/db -W --clean --no-owner ~/dump_prod.pgsql
3.)
touch ~/.pgpass
echo "*:*:*:*:password > ~/.pgpass
chmod 0600 ~/.pgpass
pg_restore -h localhost -d db -U user -W --clean --no-owner ~/dump_prod.pgsql
any ideas?
Regards
As per the doc, -W will prompt for a password. -w will not
-w
--no-password
Never issue a password prompt. If the server requires password authentication and a password is not available by other means such as
a .pgpass file, the connection attempt will fail. This option can be
useful in batch jobs and scripts where no user is present to enter a
password.
-W
--password
Force pg_restore to prompt for a password before connecting to a database.
The .pgpass file worked for me.
My setup:
I am restoring DB into the postgres instance running as Docker container.
The postgres instance is run using command:
docker run --name postgres_db -p 5432:5432 -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=admin -d postgres:9.6
pg_restore is present but it is available as separate tool, outside docker setup.
The ~/.pgpass file entry looks like this:
localhost:5432:db_name:user:password
Where:
db_name is the target db name that one is going to restore.
user is the name of the user that is going to perform the restore - in my case an admin user. i.e. postgres user in the postgres instance.
password - admin user's password. i.e. admin
I am trying to run psql command from windows command line. However, command always ask for connection details even though connection details are given.
I have tried below two commands but none works:
"C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\12\scripts\runpsql.bat -f d:\test.sql postgresql://postgres:password#localhost:5432/testdb
and
"C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\12\scripts\runpsql.bat" -h localhost -d testdb -U postgres -p 5432 -f d:\test.sql
I have created password file to store password as mentioned here.
However, in command line, it asks for host name, database and other details.
I have a Ubuntu server that processes documents and another that have the database (postgresql 9.3).
I ran psql -? to understand how to connect to another DB and the final command would be:
psql -U postgres -W -h 1.2.3.4 -d testdb -p 5432
It works, but I must type the password after the command is issued.
I was trying to adapt this command in a bash script:
#!/bin/bash
psql -U postgres -W mypassword -h 1.2.3.4 -d testdb -p 5432 << EOF
select * from mytable;
\q
EOF
Needless to say this is not the right command.
Also, the password does not get recognized as a password, reporting the error:
psql: warning: extra command-line argument "mypassword" ignored
Password for user postgres:
psql: FATAL: password authentication failed for user "postgres"
FATAL: password authentication failed for user "postgres"
In another server, where the script runs on the local DB, my working script is:
su - postgres -c "psql myDatabase" << EOF
select * from "myOtherTable";
\q
EOF
The question is simple, how can I write the right command for bash, to connect to another database with user/password and issue commands?
A link I tried, but password seems to not be set:
run psql query in bash
Thanks!
Try
PGPASSWORD=yourpass psql -U postgres -W -h 1.2.3.4 -d testdb -p 5432
See: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.3/static/libpq-envars.html
or ~/.pgpass file https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.3/static/libpq-pgpass.html
i have installed Mysql on Windows7, i used mysql with mysql command line client & i also use Mysqldump in windows cmd, & it was working without any problem. But today, i tried to export database using mysqldump with this command in cmd
mysqldump –u root -p mypassword db_name > f:\mydb.sql
i tried many other commands and i always see error
Access Denied for User 'ODBC'#'localhost' (using password: yes) when trying to connect
as you can see, in mysqldump command i am using root as user then why i get user ODBC error ? one more thing, using mysql command line client i am still using mysql normally without any problem using root as user. i also tried to login in cmd with this command
mysql –u root -p mypassword
but still same error. and my password is 100% correct. kindly tell me how to solve this problem. Thanks
Have you tried storing pass in the cfg file? http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/password-security-user.html
try from command line:
mysql -u root -p
and then, when you are being asked for password, just type it.
Try the same with mysqldump command without typing your password after -p.
After a few weeks of not using my postgres db, I need to use it again. To my knowledge I haven't changed anything in the configuration since then, but I cannot login as my normal superuser.
psql -d %dbname% -U %username%
I get: psql: FATAL: password authentication failed for user "%username%"
Here's what I've done so far:
Sudo into the db: sudo -u %OS_username% psql
Test create a user to verify commands work: CREATE USER test WITH PASSWORD 'test'; (it worked)
Change my password: ALTER USER %username% PASSWORD 'test'
Reboot the server: pg_ctl restart -D ~/Library/Application\ Support/Postgres/var-9.3
Then I try psql -d %dbname% -U %username% again, but it fails with the same message.
Below are the active connection configurations from my pg_hba.conf:
local all all trust
host all all 127.0.0.1/32 trust
host all all ::1/128 trust
local all %username% trust
I have only added the last line today, and made no other changes. PG Commander/PGAdmin refused to login as normal (as they always have done). Why and where could the credentials have been changed?
Edit: I should also note that I cannot login with the test user I created.
