I looked farther up the STDOUT/STDERR of the
psql import using the file from a pg_dumpall

There are tons of errors there besides encoding.
Sample errors:

psql:/tmp/cluster_pg_dumpall.txt:10: ERROR: role "airburst" does
not exist
SET
psql:/tmp/cluster_pg_dumpall.txt:14: ERROR: relation
"public.computers" does not existist
psql:/tmp/cluster_pg_dumpall.txt:19: ERROR: index

psql:/tmp/cluster_pg_dumpall.txt:191: NOTICE: using
pg_pltemplate information instead of CREATE LANGUAGE parameters

psql:/tmp/cluster_pg_dumpall.txt:4382: ERROR: invalid byte
sequence for encoding "UTF8": 0x91
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".
CONTEXT: COPY brokenbin, line 443

Obviously this import is not a panacea!

I do know that the new DB was initialized w/ UNICODE and the old w/
SQL_ASCII.
I did a grep for "CREATED" or "CREATE D", they're not in the dump.

So,
A) How do I back out since I imported this into (I guess) the
'postgres' database instead of 'airburst'?
B) Once I get back there, what do I need to do besides
a) CREATE DATABASE (with SQL_ASCII encoding)
b) In that DB create the ROLE 'airburst'
c) ?
C) Then do I import the production version's dump?

Thanks again all,
