I tried using datagrip to import a database and ran the following construct
pg_restore -d postgresql://admin:"password"@db-postgresql-nyc1-59296-do-user-12660498-0.b.db.ondigitalocean.com:25060/Megacity?sslmode=require --jobs 2 C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\15\bin\Megacity.sql
Then the following errors popped up:
do-user-12660498-0.b.db.ondigitalocean.com:25060/defaultdb?sslmode=require
[2022-10-25 09:41:23] [42601] ERROR: syntax error at or near "-"
[2022-10-25 09:41:23] Position: 3
Please how can I resolve this?

Hi @phetchaconsults,
I’ll urge you to check the following Docs;
https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/databases/postgresql/how-to/import-databases/
Having said that, looking at your pg_restore command everything looks to be proper.
- pg_restore -d postgresql://admin:"password"@db-postgresql-nyc1-59296-do-user-12660498-0.b.db.ondigitalocean.com:25060/Megacity?sslmode=require --jobs 2 C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\15\bin\Megacity.sql
All I can think of is maybe you’ve used a symbol that’s not ‘-’ but something that looks like it. I’ll suggest to try and re-type the command to see if this error would still appear.
