Re: [ADMIN] Random server overload

"Does the server log say anything about broken connections or client not responding?" Nope, no errors in server log, just high I/O and no free slots remaining. We are thinking of adding more RAM to the server what should speed up the queries.. -- Best regards, Viktor

it sounds like you are missing the contrib code. if you built from source you need to go to the contrib directory and run make, make install. if you installed from a package you need to install the appropriate contrib package. reiner sent by smoke signals at great danger to my self. On 1

Can you use '-v' with pg_dumpall and output to the log file? That might help. Likely something is not right with the individual pg_dump processes that work inside the pg_dumpall. Payal Singh, OmniTi Computer Consulting Inc. Junior Database Architect, Phone: 240.646.0770 x 253 On Thu, Oct 10, 201

I need to convert a bunch of my databases to utf8 before I can migrate them to postgresql 8.4. Is there a command that during the pg_dumpall process the encoding can be changed from latin1 to utf8? This is the error I get when migrating the databases from 8.1 to a machine running 8.4 psql:pgdbs

I needed both UTF8 and Latin-1. I accomplished this by initdb with the LOCALE set to C. That lets me create dbs "with template0 encoding='Latin-1'" as well as "encoding=UTF8," FWIW... Original message From: Marc Fromm Date: 10/10/2013 5:39 PM (GMT-06:00) To: pgsql-admin@po
