Hi

Here I am again with my 'stupd' question

here is a script :

=====================
psql -h192.168.XXX.XXX -dDATABASE -Upostgres << EOF > /home/postgres/FILE
COPY TABLE TO stdout;
EOF

psql -h192.168.XXX.XXX -dDATABASE -Upostgres << EOF
COPY carax_exec_bck FROM '/home/postgres/FILE';
EOF
=======================

I got this error :
ERROR: could not open file "/home/postgres/FILE" for reading: No such
file or directory

????

thx

Why you don't make:

COPY carax_exec_bck TO '/home/postgres/FILE';

?

Then you could also use something like....

COPY carax_exec_bck TO '/home/postgres/FILE' WITH BINARY;

etc.

Are the client and server on the same machine? The use of the -h
option suggests perhaps not. In the first command you're redirecting
psql's output to a file on the client machine, and in the second
command you're trying to read a file on the server machine.
