I'm taking an intro to SQL course and I can't get my very first database loaded. I have a file dvdrental.tar, I create a new database dvdrental > right click > Restore > Select File > Pick "Data" under Restore options, and I get the error below.

I'm on Mac OSX and the pgAmin instance is being loaded in Chrome if that helps. I've tried deleting and re-adding the database twice and I still get the same error. I also tried reinstalling pgAdmin and fully reinstalling postgresql including removing the user account. I just tried doing it on a fresh install in a Windows environment and I get the exact same error.

I've also completely rebooted the computer several times since then. I also just verified that other tar files and a sql file aren't working.

Here's the full error, I have no idea what any of it means, as I'm brand new to SQL and just setting it up:

/Library/PostgreSQL/10/bin/pg_restore --host "localhost" --port "5432" --username "postgres" --no-password --dbname "dvdrental" --section=data --verbose "/Users/chasehippen/Downloads/Postgresql/dvdrental.tar"
