I had the same problem last week. iconv cleaned up my dump file, but removed characters I actually wanted (degree & micro symbols). I tried changing the encoding to Latin1 in my pg_dumpall file. This did seem to help some, though there was still a problem with some of the characters. I fina

I'm seeing a background writer process in an 8.0.8 installation that uses 1.6 GB of main memory, and ps shows that it has used an unreasonable amount of CPU time so far. It seems that the machine was under heavy load just before I got to it; maybe that is cause? Has anyone seen this sort of me
