Hello everybody. I hope your week's going well so far.

I built our data mine in postgreSQL around 3 months ago and I've been working with it since. Postgres is great and I'm really enjoying it, but I've hit a bit of a hitch. Originally (and against pgAdmin's good advice, duh!) I set up the database to use ASCII encoding. However we have a large base of Spanish speaking members and services, and we need utf-8
...snip snip

pg_restore: [archiver (db)] COPY failed: ERROR: invalid byte sequence for encoding "UTF8": 0xc52f HINT: This error can also happen if the byte sequence does not match the encoding expected by the server, which is controlled by "client_encoding".
CONTEXT:  COPY transaction, line 209487
WARNING: errors ignored on restore: 1


Try editing your dump-file and change the line which reads "SET client_encoding = 'SQL_ASCII';" to "SET client_encoding = 'LATIN1';"

Ok, so I figured out that head -n -10 and tail -n +10 are not the same thing, and I've got a decent file now. However when I try the restore I get this

pg_restore.exe -i -h 192.168.1.xxx -p 5432 -U foobar -d warehouse_utf8 -a -t "transaction" -v "O:\foo\bar\fixed.backup"
pg_restore: [archiver] out of memory

Process returned exit code 1.

I tried upping some of the memory settings in postgresql.conf. The server has ~2gb of RAM unused, and the file is ~65mb. Anybody have any ideas?

Also, it's taking around an hour and a half for a message to go from my computer to being posted on the list. Is there a problem with the mailing list software?

Thanks again for any assistance you can give me.
