  • Same as above, customize host and port:
    pg_restore -h {{host}} -p {{port}} -d {{db_name}} {{archive_file.dump}}
  • List database objects included in the archive:
    pg_restore --list {{archive_file.dump}}
  • Clean database objects before creating them:
    pg_restore --clean -d {{db_name}} {{archive_file.dump}}
  • Use multiple jobs to do the restoring:
