To answer my own mail, I shut down the 8.1 database, and started up the 8.0 PostgreSQL install that is still on my computer, and the backups work fine. I do get the message about how 8.1 handles sorting of unicode characters more correctly, but looking at my backups, I can see that the full back up failed about the time that I switched to the newer version.

Is there a fix for this? Is this a bug? Is there a workaround?

Thanks for any help.

I have seen several people with this same error. I get mine when trying to backup using pg_dump, causing my backups to fail.

I am using PostgreSQL 8.1 on Windows XP.The databases are in UTF8. I get the same error from the command line and using pgadmin3.

Has anyone found a solution for this? Looking around online, I see that this supposedly codes for a lowercase a with a circumflex (which I don't have in tha table thet triggeres the error), but that this may be the first part of a three-byte sequence that codes for something else.

Does anyone know of a way to pinpoint the character in the database? I am not sure how to search for a raw unicode character through psql or pgadmin...

Thanks for any help!
