Hi Scott,
When I tried to add -f in the pg_restore clause, it is generating error.
I tried to use another clause --file=file-name which is also generating errors.
PS H:\> pg_restore -F t -v -h bronxdb1.c52p1f6zjuib.us-gov-west-1.rds.amazonaws.com -U db_sarwar -d bronxdb1 -t 'bronxdev.errors' --file=C:\Mohammed\Work\NGC\Apps\Bronx\Backups\Dumps\data\backup_Dev_Bronxdev-Errors_20231024-5.DUMP
pg_restore: error: options -d/--dbname and -f/--file cannot be used together
Try "pg_restore --help" for more information.
PS H:\>
Thanks,
Sarwar

You're missing the -f on the pg_restore to take the dump from a file, so it's sitting waiting for SQL to come via stdin.
