Re: pg_restore

Following the examples in the docs I've come to this.

I am attempting to restore the existing sql dump using
psql -d PDW -f aurel.sql

I am then asked for a password.

I try every password that the computer knows with no success.

Funny thing the password cursor doesn't move when inputting the password.

I keep getting authentication failure.

When I attempt to do a new pg_dump with -Fc I also get a request for
password with identical results.
