Either get rid of it, or override it by including "-E UTF8" in the pg_dump command. (Hmm, actually it looks like pg_dumpall hasn't got a -E switch, which seems like an oversight. So you need to fix your locale, or else use pg_dump directly.) regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
