Thanks Mahendra, please refer this scenario where restoring the
dump(database contain tablespace) throwing an error

*Steps to reproduce *
initdb (./initdb -D data) , start the server ( ./pg_ctl -D data start) ,
connect to psql terminal ( ./psql postgres)
create a directory ( \! mkdir /tmp/abc) , create a tablespace ( create
tablespace a location '/tmp/abc'); )
create a table ( create table t(n int) tablespace a; ) , insert data (
insert into t values ('a'); )
perform pg_dumpall with option -c ( ./pg_dumpall -Fc -f my.d)
try to perform pg_restore with option --no-tablespaces ( ./pg_restore
--no-tablespaces -Fc my.d -d postgres -C)
Getting this error :
"
pg_restore: error: could not execute query: ERROR: role "edb" already
exists
Command was: CREATE ROLE edb;
ALTER ROLE edb WITH SUPERUSER INHERIT CREATEROLE CREATEDB LOGIN REPLICATION
BYPASSRLS;

pg_restore: error: could not execute query: ERROR: directory
