I am afraid that the problem is more complex. The original database (which is created with SQL_ASCII) contains invalid byte sequences in some columns (target database created with UNICODE):
jkr@Panoramix:~/postgresql$ pg_dump -t artik munttest | psql muntfinal
output.txt
ERROR: invalid byte sequence for encoding "UNICODE": 0xeb207a
CONTEXT: COPY artik, line 11705, column omschrijving: "Anna v. Groot
Brittannië zi prf 38.61 mm"
So I cannot dump/restore/alter table. I was hoping that piping the text
from stdout to psql that a valid conversion to unicode would take place
but apparently that is not the case.
Any other ideas?
If you know the implicit charset you used in your SQL_ASCII
db, try with: SET client_encoding TO 'the_charset';
In your import script if you use one.
