Hello, I have an old PostgreSQL Database which was created with encoding = SQL_ASCII. That is an old sin of mine; 9years ago I did not know better.
Now I know better than to use SQL_ASCII. On the bright side: I am totally sure that the TEXT within that database is in WIN1252 / CP1252 encoding. Is there any way to overwrite the encoding-information? something like "udpate <specialsystemcatalog> set pg_encodingcol='xxx' where databasename='oldsin'; Best wishes, Harald -- GHUM Harald Massa persuadere et programmare Harald Armin Massa Spielberger Straße 49 70435 Stuttgart 0173/9409607 no fx, no carrier pigeon - LASIK good, steroids bad?
