Hi:

I'm trying to dump tableA and restore it to tableB:

$ ./pg_dump -Fc -t tableA databaseA -f tableA.dump -v
$ ./pg_restore -t tableB -d databaseA tableA.dump -v

pg_dump creates tableA.dump aparently well, but after running pg_restore
without errors I cannot find any "tableB", what am I doing wrong?

I upgraded postgres version recently, the postmaster is running on port
5433, and pg_dump and pg_restore are now under /usr/local/pgsql/bin.

These are the outputs of the commands with -v (verbose):

$ ./pg_dump -Fc -t tableA databaseA -f tableA.dump -v

Thanks.

pg_dump does not do that. The -t switch is for selecting one table
among several, not for renaming anything.
