In reading in the manual it seems the new database is based on template0. I created my first database (wazagua) from the command line using dbcreate wazagua. It results in CREATE DATABASE wazagua WITH OWNER = postgres ENCODING = 'SQL_ASCII';
When I created a test data base to load my backup I did this inside pgadmin III and see it CREATE DATABASE test WITH OWNER = postgres ENCODING = 'UNICODE'; So I think I see why when I try to restore I have issues. My question is which is the correct choice? We do have some chars that have French aschii, so is 'SQL_ASCII' or 'UNICODE' the correct choice? I was able to move all my data over to the 'SQL_ASCII' database, so I may be again answering my own question. Values like d`Appréhension show up ok in the table. Am I guessing correctly to just make the database I am restoring to 'SQL_ASCII'? I will try this.
