I'm getting Unicode errors when I export (with pg_dump) my database from
version 7.4 and then import it into a new 8.0 database (with psql).
The situation is that this data has fields with ascii characters in them and
utf-8 characters also. Both types of characters are in a given field. The
entire dump is NOT utf-8 encoded.
I can't figure out how to get this to be imported into the new database
without errors unless I turn the entire thing into utf-8 using recode. That
does not work well because the fields in question have to be utf8_decoded (in
php) TWICE before they display correctly.
How do I deal with this? It's got me very puzzled!
Thanks!
Scott
