for convert my DB, i use this process:
createdb -T "old_DB" "copy_old_DB"
dropdb "old_DB"
createdb -E LATIN1 -T "copy_old_DB" "new_DB_name"
maybe this process will help you.

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().
