PostgreSQL: pg_dump does nothing in command prompt
<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>
