Is it possible to change the encoding on a existing
Database?
I mda this:
psql -l
List of databases
Name | Owner | Encoding
-----------+-------+-----------
test | pgsql | SQL_ASCII
(1 rows)
I think for german and other european languages I must use UNICODE
But how can I change the encoding on the existing database 'test'

It can be anywhere in the datastream where the encodings don' tmatch.
Usually it's how the database was 'initdb'
