title: PostgreSQL: pg_dump does nothing in command prompt
body: <p>I opened an SQL Shell (psql) and entered my information: username, port, host, database and password.</p>
  
  <p>Then the name of the database popped up like so</p>
  
  <pre><code>Testing_Database-#
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Then I attempted to dump a table into a file like so </p>
  
  <pre><code>pg_dump -h BigSever -p 5432 -t customer_order &gt; plzwork.sql 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Nothing showed up on my machine.  I quickly got back</p>
  
  <pre><code>Testing_Database-#
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I searched my entire computer for it then I read online to try </p>
  
  <pre><code>pg_dump -h BigSever -p 5432 -t customer_order &gt; C:\plzwork.sql 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It didn't work either. It threw an error, so I tried another example </p>
  
  <pre><code>pg_dump -h BigSever -p 5432 -t customer_order &gt; "C:\\plzwork.sql"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and got </p>
  
  <pre><code>Testing_Database-#
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But still, it wasn't in the C drive as expected. So, I am now wondering am I supposed to get a notification of completion? If it is working, why isn't it sending it where I can find it.</p>
  
  <p>Also, I tried my own personal localhost to do a dump and got the same results. </p>
