Re: Can't dump and restore

Tom,

You're correct, the new database was being created as UNICODE instead of
SQL_ASCII. I'd never messed with encoding before, but I guess that the
default was changed some time after I originally made the database on 6.x.
Stupid mistake. :)

Thanks a bundle for your help!

There is no way you're going to get that error if the encoding setting
is SQL_ASCII, so better look again. "SHOW server_encoding" and "SHOW
client_encoding" might be revealing.
