Moving a database with pg_dump and psql -U postgres db_name < … results in “ERROR: relation ”table_name“ does not exist”

Question

I moved my PostgresQL database from one hard drive to another using

pg_dump -U postgres db_name > db_name.dump

and then

psq         


        

Answer 1

I was able to solve it by changing the database privileges to public CONNECT and the schema privileges for public and postgres = USAGE and CREATE.

My backup scripts apparently didn't preserve the privileges, at least not when moving from 8.3 to 8.4.
