It may be worth adding to this that you need to restore a plain dump via
psql on the command line:

psql -U <username> -f <sql file name> <database name>

There has been confusion in the past with people trying to use the
"Restore" command in pgAdmin with plain dumps - this uses pg_restore,
which is intended for custom dumps only.
