Ok. Tried that. Because there's no database, I have to execute the
psql command as "postgres" otherwise it doesn't work.
So here's my command:
$ psql -d postgres -U postgres -h localhost < mydb.sql
This seems to be it. This is what I should be executing, except that
it spews out many errors, like:
ERROR: invalid byte sequence for encoding "UTF8": 0x80
This prevents my main table from being copied - Why can't the dump and
the restore just copy the file as-is, including the encoding and such?
What am I not doing right?
Thanks
