Hello, For my database ( PostgreSQL 8) I made a backup ( using pgAdmin ). Now when I try to restore the data ( again using pgAdmin ) at some point the process is aborted: ----------- pg_restore: ERROR: invalid byte sequence for encoding "UNICODE":0xa1 CONTEXT: COPY ............... pg_restore: [archiver(db)] error returned by PQendcopy: invalid byte sequence for encading "UNICODE":0xa1 CONTEXT: COPY ............... pg_restore: *** aborted because of error Process returned exit code 1 ----------- If I delete the database and restore only the schema I get this message: ----------- "WARNING: errors ignored on restore:21 Process returned exit code 1" ----------- The designer of database has told me that this last message is OK, and this is the message which should I get after restoring the schema and data. I have asked him why I can restore the data but unfortunatelly he doesn't now where the problem is. The database is installed on a server with Windows 2003 . Can you please help me? ____________________________________________________________________________________ Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo! Mobile.
