Hi Jeremy,

My guess would be that you are executing postgis_restore.pl from the command
prompt and so it is picking up the name of your Windows user instead of the
username of the database superuser. You should be able to use the PGUSER
environmental variable to override this, e.g.:

set PGUSER=pg81
postgis_restore.pl lwpostgis.sql new_database dump_file > restore.log


Kind regards,

Mark.
