I think you may have misunderstood. I realize that encoding is a
database setting, which is why I originally dumped and recreated the
whole db. I tried a full restore with some success, but it kept hanging
on a specific table, a very large one. I decided to limit the dump and
restore to that table, though the from database is encoded 'SQL-ASCII'
and the to database is 'UTF8'. I must have explained it poorly. My
current problem is waiting for the third message to finally post to this
list so I can get help with my 'out of memory' error.

Thanks for your help anyway :-)
