After facing various problems with my installation of postgresql 7.4 I
decided to do a complete re-install (got strange errors when trying to
vacuum, for one).
Now, that finally everything is up and running again, I tried it again
the way Tom has pointed out to me, and .. voilá: it works. Goes off
without a hitch.
One hint, if u should be in a similar situation: Don't forget to set
client_encoding = Latin1 (or whatever is appropriate) for any client
client that does not make use of UNICODE.
Thanks once more to Tom & regards!
