Subject: [ADMIN] troubled by pg_dump and pg_restore

Hi Everybody,

I am a bit troubled by pg_dump and pg_restore. My platform is
redhat linux, Del 64 bit hardware, running postgres 8.3.7.
I have a database named canon and I want to move a schema full of
tables from canon to a new database named musket. The schema I
am interested in is called tsakai. Here's what I have done:

$ env | grep PG
PGUSER=postgres
PGDATABASE=canon
PGHOST=localhost
PGDATA=/usr/local/pgsql/data
$
$ pg_dump -n tsakai > canon_tsakai.sql
$
$ echo $?
0
$
$ pg_restore -l canon_tsakai.sql
pg_restore: [archiver] input file does not appear to be a valid archive
$
$ pg_restore -d musket canon_tsakai.sql
pg_restore: [archiver] input file does not appear to be a valid archive

Can someone please tell me (1) if there is anything wrong with my invocation
of pd_dump? (I want to generate a file pd_restore can use to feed to
musket database.) (2) Why pg_restore wouldn't give me listing? And (3)
why the second pg_restore command is upset?

Thank you.

Regards,
