pg_dump version: 7.3.4
pg_restore version: 7.3.4
psql version: 7.3.4
I try to use the various scenarios proposed in the pg_dump man page to dump
one database and restore it on another machine. In all case, I have got an
error during the restore process (psql -d xxx -f yyy or pg_restore).
I have checked very carefully where such an error happens and I have
discovered that it is only when psql or pg_restore reaches a record
containing a character with an accent (like �, �, � etc etc.). It does not
fail systematically, but chance to have a failure are very high if:
a) a record contains more characters with accents than just one or
b) the character with an accent is at the end of the field
If I pad a field with space characters ('Cr�peau ' instead of
'Cr�peau'), that could fix the problem but I suspect the end result will
miss some blank characters.
Oh, by the way, all my databases are encoded with UNICODE.
