Re: Looking for professionals for a PG server move

Biggest problem is utf-8 crap. Some other databases are much more
forgiving of the data. PG takes utf-8 data but somehow gives problem
with backup/restore. I've tried everything, including iconv etc, but
this truly could be a lot better in the future versions I hope.

Thanks.
