I have a SQL dump file: C:\Users\Rayyan\Desktop\dump_2.sql.

I have been trying to import this for so long. I am using pgadmin 4, and since I could find nothing in that GUI to help, I tried using Windows command prompt.

I created my new database "wecudos" in pgadmin4.

Then tried the following command in windows command prompt:

psql wecudos < C:\Users\Rayyan\Desktop\dump_2.sql

according to the specified format:

psql dbname < dumpfile

This is not working, please help, I have also added a screenshot of the error/data I entered, thanks!

  • Do you know exactly how this dump file was created? "pg_dump", "pg_dumpall", or something else? And what options were used?
