The pg_dump file contains this command:
CREATE DATABASE workgroup WITH TEMPLATE = template0 ENCODING = 'UTF8'
LC_COLLATE = 'Norwegian (Bokmål)_Norway.1252' LC_CTYPE = 'Norwegian
(Bokmål)_Norway.1252';
The UTF16 encoding for ål) [a-ring l parenthesis] is
00e5 006c 0029
In UTF8 this set of characters encoded as:
c3 a5 6c 29
The a-ring is converted to two bytes while the others are one.
Based on the ERROR:
invalid byte sequence for encoding "UTF8": 0xe5 0x6c 0x29
It appears the set of characters is getting passed as:
e5 6c 29
In UTF8, e5 is always the start of a three byte character,possibly
pg_restore, ceratedb or else, tries to read these bytes as a single
character.
However, 6c and 29 can only be single byte characters, they can't be the
next two bytes in a three byte character. Hence the failure.
Seems like in the code, the 00xe5 is converted to e5 instead of 'c3 a5' when
passing the LC_COLLATE and LC_CTYPE values.
