I would like to execute a SQL script that will create a database in Postgres. It produces the message:
bash: syntax error near unexpected token 'newline'
The script is:
postgres#tom: /home/tom$ psql -1q test test <script.sql 2>
If you want to redirect standard error to standard output, you should run
psql -1q -d test -U test -f script.sql 2>&1

this is the command that im writeing:
psql -U postgres -d postgres -f Z:\DB_BU\md_20220729.sql
and this is the error that im getting:
Invalid command \DB_BU. Try \? for help.
when im doing this:
psql -U postgres -d postgres -f i\ Z:\DB_BU\md_20220729.sql
Invalid command \DB_BU. Try ? for help.
and when im doing this:
psql -U postgres -d postgres -f "Z:\DB_BU\md_20220729.sql"
im not getting any error but also its not restoring the file. how can i restor the file?
You're trying to call psql from within psql or PGAdmin. Since
psql is a standalone program, not an SQL command you can run in PGAdmin SQL window or psql's own, internal meta-command you're getting the error
Invalid command \DB_BU. Try \? for help
indicating that there was an attempt to interpret your entire command as a SQL query or an internal command and that this attempt failed.
You can open "psql tool" from within PGAdmin but your command won't work there either because it's trying to call psql itself, with some command-line options, which you cannot do when you're already inside an interactive psql session. The command
psql -U postgres -d postgres -f Z:\DB_BU\md_20220729.sql
can be used outside psql and PGAdmin, in your terminal, like zsh on Mac, sh/bash on Linux, cmd or PowerShell on Windows, where psql is installed and visible, along with your network path.
If you're able to open the psql tool window in PGAdmin, you can instead try and use an internal psql \i meta-command which is basically the same thing as the -f command-line option, but meant for use inside the psql session:
\i "Z:\DB_BU\md_20220729.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
I am trying to execute multiple sql scripts using psql. I created one master script with all the scripts to be executed as below. I want all the scripts to succeed or fail together.
master.sql
BEGIN;
\i one.sql
\i two.sql
\i three.sql
COMMIT;
I am trying to catch the error code of psql to determine if it success. When i query for ?$ it always returns 0. I figured when add ON_ERROR_STOP=1 to command it returns proper error code. Problem with this approach if the error happens in three.sql it does not roll back one.sql and two.sql transactions.
psql -U postgres -h localhost -d test -v ON_ERROR_STOP=1 -f master.sql
What would be correct approach to find out if script executed successfully.
I’m in the MySQL command line client mysql monitor, trying to do a mysqldump command on the database with which I have an open connection. This is the command I’m using at the mysql> prompt:
mysqldump -u username -p password databasename > dumpfilename.sql\g.
I assume that the file dumpfilename.sql will be created when the dump is successful. I have tried it with and without pw, un, end-of-line semicolon, etc. I am getting
error 1064 syntax error
over and over again. What am I doing wrong?
mysqldump is a program, not a MySQL command. Exit the mysql client and enter the mysqldump -u username -p password databasename > dumpfilename.sql command at the shell prompt and it will work
I am trying to restore the postgres sql data from a file . I am trying to do so but it is not importing .
Here is the command which i am using:
postgres-# psql -hlocalhost -p5432 -u postgres -d test -f C:/wamp/www/test/database_backups/backup004.sql
Please help me what I am doing wrong .
I am using windows and the above command does not throws any error but it does not import data.
Regards
Surjan
The only immediate thing I can see there is the capitilsation of -u for username (should be -U).
Correction: You're typing the command line into the psql shell.
You should exit to the CMD.EXE shell, and try the command there. With the correct capitalisation of -U, by the way.
OR, use this to replay the script into that psql shell:
\i C:/wamp/www/test/database_backups/backup004.sql
The forward slashes don't cause a problem on my Windows machine.
