Re: large dumps won't restore

Joshua -
well, i ran a --inserts dump as you suggested, and it died upteen millions
(and many hours) in at:

INSERT 59235383 1
invalid command \033',
cannot allocate memory for output buffer

Weiping,

db=# \encoding
UNICODE

the last four columns in the table are:

  full_name_nd  | character varying(200)      |
  mod_date      | timestamp without time zone |
  pc_char       | character varying(4)        |
  dim_char      | character varying(16)       |

[root@host root]# env |grep LANG
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
