I have a doubt about the function to_ascii() and what the documentation says.

Basically, I passed my DB from latin1 to UTF-8, and I started getting an error when using the to_ascii() function on a field of one of my DB [1]:

ERROR:  la conversión de codificación de UTF8 a ASCII no está soportada

OK, it's in spanish, but basically it says that the conversion UTF8 to ASCII is not supported, but in the documentation [2] I see this in the "Table 9-7. Built-in Conversions":

utf8_to_ascii   UTF8    SQL_ASCII

Is the documentation wrong or something?

I'm on postgresql-8.1.8, and as you can see, I'm checking the corresponding documentation.

[1]: This I already solved using convert() to pass from UTF to Latin1, and after that I do a to_ascii(). [2]: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/interactive/functions-string.html#FTN.AEN7625
