I have a database with several tables and I want to add the data and structure of a selection of them to a different database containing already different tables.

I have created the dump file in the following way:

"C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\9.1\bin\pg_dump.exe" -U postgres -w DBName -t table1 -t Table2 -t Table3 > "E:\Dump.sql"

This works fine and I have E:\Dump.sql with the dump of the three tables in it. I have tried to make a restore with the following code:

"C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\9.6\bin\pg_dump.exe" -C -U User -t table1 -t Table2 -t Table4 destdb < Dump.sql

but I get the error

no matching tables were found

.

Where am I doing wrong?

pg_dump is meant for **taking* backups, next section of manual is for restoring a backup:

Text files created by pg_dump are intended to be read in by the psql program. The general command form to restore a dump is

psql dbname < infile

Also you mention three tables, two of which are mixed case - in order for it to work, you have to double quote it I believe. But anyway - restoring for you file would be:

psql YOURDBNAME -f E:\Dump.sql
