Cannot import database exported by phpPgAdmin
Looking at this tutorial, seems like phpPgAdmin make a call for pg_dump to export the data.

To process plain files with psql, you must use the -foption, eg:

psql \
  -U postgres  \
  -d database_name \
  -f phppgadmin_dump_file.sql


I strongly recommend using pg_dump manually with the option --format=custom to make the restore more flexible (and use the tool pg_restore).

Please, take a look at this URL to restore de file using phpPgAdmin itself:
