Ridvan,
I don't think that is a problem with 32/64 bit, as I've recently taken a 32 bit dump onto a 64 bit ok - but with a similar problem to yourself.
The problem seems to be more that the original instance was created with an encoding that is not compatible with the encoding of the new 64 bit instance (ie as created by initdb). Take a look at the dump using a 'head' type command - it will show the encoding of the extract. You may then have to recreate your instance on the 64 bit box with the correct encoding (I think that the default for initdb is to look at your 'locale' and use that to create the encoding) - look at man initdb (--encoding option).

Hi list,
I'm trying to migrate a database to another server. However, the source is 32-bit while the server that I'm going to have it transferred is 64-bit. Is there any workaround on this? I'm just using a simple `pg_dump` to migrate the database.
ENVIRONMENT:
Source DB: Linux <censored> 2.6.9-42.0.8.EL #1 Tue Jan 30 12:10:22 EST 2007 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
client - psql (PostgreSQL) 8.1.4
server - PostgreSQL 8.1.4 on i686-redhat-linux-gnu, compiled by GCC gcc (GCC) 3.4.5 20051201 (Red Hat 3.4.5-2)
Target DB: Linux <censored> 2.6.15-28-amd64-generic #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Jul 18 22:51:22 UTC 2007 x86_64 GNU/Linux
client - psql (PostgreSQL) 8.2.7
server - PostgreSQL 8.2.7 on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, compiled by GCC gcc (GCC) 4.0.3 (Ubuntu 4.0.3-1ubuntu5)
And here's the error when dumping the data to the target DB:
ERROR: invalid byte sequence for encoding "UTF8": 0x80
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".
Thanks in advance for your help.
Ridvan
