Hi Everyone,
I’m a newbie to the list, and look forward to helping out where I can if possible.
I have an issue which I’ve not been able to get around. I have a Postgresql 7.4 server with a number of databases:
Name | Owner | Encoding
------------+----------+----------
xxx45 | postgres | UNICODE
xxx30 | postgres | UNICODE
xxx30_copy | postgres | UNICODE
yyy30 | postgres | UNICODE
xxxxxxx | postgres | UNICODE
xxxx | postgres | UNICODE
I have installed PostgreSQL 8.1 onto a new box, and when trying to create a new database, even when specifiying –encoding=UNICODE I cannot create UNICODE dbs, it makes them all UTF-8.
Then when I try and restore a DB dump, but keep on getting invalid “UTF-8 byte sequence detected near byte xxx” and although the restore continues, a lot of data is missing.
Does anyone have any suggestions here, I would really appreciate it!
Regards,
James Dey
