The following bug has been logged online: Bug reference: 2861 Logged by: goodsforyou Email address: goodsforyou@gmail.com PostgreSQL version: 8.2.0 win32 Operating system: Windows xp sp2 Simplified Chinese Version Description: when backup UTF-8 database,pgdump add comments not encoded in UTF-8 Details: When I make a backup of a UTF8 database then pg_dump add some comment to backup file: -- Started on 2006-12-23 11:04:38 ä¸å½æ åæ¶é´ ... ... -- Completed on 2006-12-23 11:04:40 ä¸å½æ åæ¶é´ 'ä¸å½æ åæ¶é´' means in English 'China standard time'. Unfortunately it is encoded incorretly in GBK, not in UTF-8. It makes following error during restore: pg_restore: connecting to database for restore pg_restore: [archiver (db)] Error while INITIALIZING: pg_restore: [archiver (db)] could not execute query: ERROR: invalid byte sequence for encoding "UTF8": 0xd6d0

Because we fixed that before 8.2 rc1 ... 2006-11-21 17:19 tgl * src/: backend/utils/error/elog.c, bin/pg_dump/pg_backup_archiver.c, bin/pg_dump/pg_dumpall.c: Suppress timezone (%Z) part of timestamp display when running on Windows, because on that platform strftime produces localized zone names in varying encodings. Even though it's only in a comment, this can cause encoding errors when reloading the dump script. Per suggestion from Andreas Seltenreich. Also, suppress %Z on Windows in the %s escape of log_line_prefix ... not sure why this one is different from the other two, but it shouldn't be. regards, tom lane
