Hi,

I have to convert a PostgreSQL database from SQL_ASCII encoding to UTF8 encoding. I use a text backup of that database with a file size of 1682552521 butes that I feed to GNU recode. This goes wron with the following error:

recode latin1..utf8 wifi4all.backup
File size limit exceeded

1. Who determines that the file is to large: the OS or recode?
2. What can I do about this?

TIA

Groeten,
