Currently running Postgres 7.3.9 32bit on Fedora Core 1, and upgrading to PG 8.1 64bit on Centos 4. When I load the file, psql -U dbname < dbname.sql I get this error: ERROR: invalid UTF-8 byte sequence detected near byte 0x96 when inserting fields that seem to contain HTML. What could be causing this? My understanding is that pg_dump should properly escape things so that I'm not trying to dump/load things improperly. The dumps are made (on the PG 7.3 server) pg_dump -d -f $OUTPUT.pgsql $db Are being restore with (on the new 8.1 server) psql -U $db -e < $OUTPUT.pgsql -Ben -- "The best way to predict the future is to invent it." - XEROX PARC slogan, circa 1978
