I'm using these commands to perform a dump and load.
pg_dump -c lakevie_typo | gzip > $HOME/backups/typo_$DATE.sql.gz
gzip < $HOME/backups/typo_$DATE.sql.gz |psql -d lakevie_typobak -f -
The dump is fine but the load only works if I first extract the sql, then run it. Running it using the pipe to psql, I get:
psql:<stdin>:71: ERROR: invalid byte sequence for encoding "UTF8": 0x8b
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".
yet, doing a 'psql -l' shows this database to be UTF-8. And the dump file says:
SET client_encoding = 'UTF8';
My goal is to get the two line dump/load working so I don't have any manual steps and sql files laying around. Any ideas?
