In ubuntu 16.04 when i want to run pg_dump it doesn't work i got this error syntax error. What is wrong ?
postgres=# pg_dump db_name > db_name1.sql
postgres-#
postgres-# ;
ERROR: syntax error at or near "pg_dump"
LINE 1: pg_dump db_name > db_name1.sql
^
postgres=#
pg_dump is not an SQL command.
It is a stand-alone utility, so you cannot run it from SQL query.
Follow the link for more information.
For your case: type \q<Enter> to quit from SQL-client and repeat your command again using shell prompt.
Remember you should use your SQL-credentials.
I.e.:
$ pg_dump -U <postgres_user_name> db_name > db_name1.sql`

On Windows 10, using psql with PostgreSQL 14 installed, I'm trying to restore a dump that is my_dump.sql.
I'm on Bash terminal currently.
I'm connected to psql server and I created a new database new_db, then a new superuser tobe.
Then I tried the command psql -d new_db < my_dump.sql but I'm getting the error stdin is not a tty
I tried the solution psql -U tobe -d new_db -f my_dump.sql from "stdin is not a tty" when populating Postgres database
because they mention the error but now I get a new error:
ERROR: syntax error at or near "ÿþ" LIGNE 1 : ÿþ
Are the two errors connected? Maybe the second error is only related to the command syntax. I'm not sure if I'm in the right direction.
Try
psql.exe -U tobe -d new_db -f my_dump.sql
Hi I am in my docker console and trying to run shell script to connect to PSQL DB and execute queries.
#!/bin/sh
query = "select * from default$default."LightZone"";
#psql -U postgres -p postgres psql -e "$query";
This is my tablecreation.sh file and when I do ./tablecreation.sh
./tablecreation.sh: 5: ./tablecreation.sh: query: not found
psql: warning: extra command-line argument "" ignored
Password for user prisma:
psql (10.3 (Debian 10.3-1.pgdg90+1))
Type "help" for help.
The above message comes . But the same query is running from the psql command prompt.
can someone help me if i am missing something . I want to connect to postgres->prisma db >default$default schema > LightZone table and run some queries.
Escape the double quotes with \
query = "select * from default$default.\"LightZone\"";
I'm trying to add extensions for Postgres by writing the following script (setup.sh):
sudo -u postgres psql my_database
CREATE EXTENSION adminpack;
when I do vagrant up, it supposed to run and add extensions automatically by running the script. However, I got the error message that
==> default: ERROR: syntax error at or near "exit"
==> default: LINE 1: exit
==> default: ^
==> default: /tmp/vagrant-shell: line 24: CREATE: command not found
Please note that I have installed all the necessary postgres stuff to run the code above. In addition, when I enter these command manually, it successfully creates the extension. Thanks to whoever that helps.
try:
sudo -u postgres psql my_database -c "CREATE EXTENSION adminpack"
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/app-psql.html
-c command
--command=command
Specifies that psql is to execute the given command string, command.
also consider using -f sql_file.sql for more complicated scripts, or smth like:
psql <<EOF
\x
SELECT NOW();
SELECT * FROM foo;
EOF
I am new to PostgreSQL and am trying to import a shapefile via the terminal with the following code:
shp2pgsql -I -s 4269 C:\MyData\roads\roads.shp roads | psql -U postgres -d <DBNAME>
The postgis extension has already been created. But I continue to get a syntax error:
postgres=# CREATE EXTENSION postgis;
ERROR: extension "postgis" already exists
postgres=#
postgres=# shp2pgsql -I -s 4326 /Users/alexander/Downloads/pluto/pluto.shp pluto | psql -U postgres -d postgres;
ERROR: syntax error at or near "shp2pgsql"
LINE 1: shp2pgsql -I -s 4326 /Users/alexander/Downloads/pluto/pluto....
^
postgres=#
Any idea as to what the problem could be?
Well that's because shp2pgsql is a command line executable. Something that you run in your shell (bash,sh etc). It's not intended to be executed in your psql console as you seem to be doing.
I am new to the use of psql prompt. I ran sudo -u postgres (psql version 9.3.9)
Then I connected to my database and I ran
=> ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES FOR USER some_user IN SCHEMA public GRANT SELECT ON TABLES TO other_user;
and then I got this error message
ERROR: syntax error at or near "ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES FOR USER"
LINE 1: ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES FOR USER ckan_default IN SCHEMA pub..
How can I deal with that ?
