Hi all, I'm having problems with pg_dump, apparently, from one of our servers. The scenario is like this. I tried today to dump a DB from our production server to load on our development server and got some errors, which I show below. Production server: SELECT version(); version ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PostgreSQL 8.3.14 on i486-pc-linux-gnu, compiled by GCC gcc-4.3.real (Debian 4.3.2-1.1) 4.3.2 Development server: SELECT version(); version ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PostgreSQL 8.4.7 on i486-pc-linux-gnu, compiled by GCC gcc-4.4.real (Debian 4.4.5-10) 4.4.5, 32-bit Anyway, the problem is in the output of the pg_dump in the production server: $ pg_dump -V pg_dump (PostgreSQL) 8.3.14 The first error looks like related to encoding of bytea: ERROR: sintaxis de entrada no vÃlida para tipo bytea CONTEXTO: COPY novedades_fotos, lÃnea 23, columna foto: Â\377\330\377\340\000\020JFIF\000\001\002\001\000H\000H\000\000\377\355\020\006Photoshop 3.0\0008BIM\... But more strange is what comes later: ERROR: la sintaxis de entrada no es vÃlida para integer: Â954516ILa educaciÃn superior en el sector aducativo del mercosur CONTEXTO: COPY objeto_datos_rep, lÃnea 1627732, columna codiobjeto: Â954516ILa educaciÃn superior en el sector aducativo del mercosur Checking that register in the production DB I get this: SELECT * from objeto_datos_rep where codigo = 2357634; codigo | codiobjeto | descripcion | tcampo ---------+------------+-----------------------------------------------------------+-------- 2357634 | 954516 | La educaciÃn superior en el sector aducativo del mercosur | 5 So, why didn't pg_dump add the tabs between 954516 and "La educaciÃn..."? Right now I'm trying to do dump with INSERTs instead of COPY command to see what happens. -- MartÃn MarquÃs select 'martin.marques' || '@' || 'gmail.com' DBA, Programador, Administrador -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
