Thanks Andrew. On the server (the DB to be dumped) everything is "UTF8".
On my home server (where I would like to mirror the DB), this is the output: =# \l List of databases Name | Owner | Encoding -----------+-----------------+----------- postgres | postgres | SQL_ASCII pkiula | pkiula_pkiula | UTF8 template0 | postgres | SQL_ASCII template1 | postgres | SQL_ASCII (4 rows) This is a fresh install as you can see. The database into which I am importing ("pkiula") is in fact listed as UTF8! Is this not enough? -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
