I've been doing some test imports of UNICODE databases into Postgres
8.1beta3. The only problem I've seen is that some data from 8.0
databases will not import.
I've generated dumps using pg_dump from 8.0 and 8.1. Attempting to
restore these results in
Invalid UNICODE byte sequence detected near byte ...
Question:
Does the 8.1 Unicode sanity code accept the full set of characters
accepted by the 8.0 Unicode sanity code?
If not we'll see a lot of problems like the one above.
I believe this patch is the one causing the problem I see:
http://www.mail-archive.com/pgsql-patches@postgresql.org/msg08198/unicode.diff
Is there any solution other than scrubbing the entire dataset to
conform to the new (8.1) encoding rules?
