Joshua -
well, i ran a --inserts dump as you suggested, and it died upteen millions
(and many hours) in at:
INSERT 59235383 1
invalid command \033',
cannot allocate memory for output buffer
Weiping,
db=# \encoding
UNICODE
the last four columns in the table are:
full_name_nd | character varying(200) |
mod_date | timestamp without time zone |
pc_char | character varying(4) |
dim_char | character varying(16) |
[root@host root]# env |grep LANG
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
