Hi List;
Trying to restore a pg_dump I get this:
pg_restore: ERROR: invalid byte sequence for encoding "UTF8": 0xae
HINT: This error can also happen if the byte sequence does not match the
encoding expected by the server, which is controlled by "client_encoding".
CONTEXT: COPY imm_lookup, line 2
pg_restore: [archiver (db)] error returned by PQendcopy: ERROR: invalid byte
sequence for encoding "UTF8": 0xae
HINT: This error can also happen if the byte sequence does not match the
encoding expected by the server, which is controlled by "client_encoding".
CONTEXT: COPY imm_lookup, line 2
This is a dump file that was handed to me from a client. I don't know anything
about what the dump flags were or what the db encoding was. Is there a way to
find out (I'm assuming this is an encoding mis-match) from the dump file.
I did do a pg_restore -l and got this:
