Hi all!
Something weird seems to be happening when I try to restore a db,
pg_dumped on PC 1, on a second PC.
PG vers. 7.2 is running on both PCs (under Debian/Woody, k 2.2.22).
Here follow some of the steps taken:

On PC no. 1:
===========
postgres$ pg_dump mydb > /home/ennio/db.out

then I ftped db.out to PC no. 2
-------------
On PC no.2:
==========

postgres$ pg_restore -C -d mydb /home/ennio/db.out

pg_restore: [archiver (db)] connection to database "mydb" failed: FATAL 1: Database "mydb" does not exist in the system catalog.
----------
I connect as user ennio and create mydb:
=> create database mydb with encoding='SQL-ASCII';

(I have to discover why it would not accept 'LATIN1' ...)
----------
=> \l
List of databases
Name | Owner | Encoding
-------------+----------+-----------
mydb | ennio | SQL_ASCII
odontolinux | postgres | UNICODE
template0 | postgres | UNICODE
template1 | postgres | UNICODE
(4 rows)

After creating mydb I try again:
pg_restore -C /home/ennio/db.out >>draft1 2>&1

finally obtaining:
